Was well packaged and then keyboard arrived on time. I have two Model M's the Original IBM style keyboard and the new Model M. Feels so great to type on. there are obviously a couple of flaws. the Legs look like they are about to break. and couple of letters don't seem aligned. but its not a big deal.
I remember back in the day when i used to get picked up from school and going back to my mums office. Seeing these keyboards back in the mid 80's. Remember how heavy and robust they were. Previously i bought mechanical keyboards like corsair with blue switches. But, i'm not into all that gimmick rgb stuff. The buckling switch is way better in my opinion and comfortable to type on.

Keyboard Company did a fantastic Job. They are incredibly helpful, fast and friendly! I am really sad, that I won't buy from them again.Why? Because these keyboards are fantastic. Precise, fast, and built like a tank. They will survive the next war and probably me, too. So I'll never have to buy another keyboard, which makes me lucky and sad at the same time...

Doesn't seem to quite have the same heft as the original, but the typing experience is all there. The experience of coming back to the heaven that is the old IBM Buckling spring Model M really is wonderful, and the Keyboard Company made it even better. Simple webshop, quick delivery and well packaged. There are no downsides to this purchase at all.

A great keyboard, solidly build and very sturdy. A very excellent clone of the original IBM Model M. Nice and clicky and very precise to type on. How a proper keyboard should be. The quality is superb. My only gripe would be that the first keyboard sent had a minor issue where pressing the X key would type multiple Xs and Cs but the Keyboard Co team got it replaced with no hassle. The replacement keyboard is still going strong after 8 years of heavy daily use with no issues. These things last forever!

Fast despatch, very well packed, a couple of queries answered quickly and personally - great service.

As for the keyboard... my IBM original malfunctioned after decades of use and abuse. This is a brilliant replacement. Design-wise it is near identical, the LEDs have moved slightly, there is no IBM logo (obviously), the lead is captive and straight (much prefer straight to coiled anyway). The finish to the surface and the printing on the keys is not quite as good as the original, but this is nit-picking, it is a great keyboard, I am really pleased with it, so glad I found the Keyboard Company.

I received the keyboard on Tuesday, and am very happy with how quickly you shipped it to me. The keyboard is everything I expected it to be and more! It is a absolute delight to type on. Thank you.
