No Super key would drive me nuts

I have a IBM Model M from 1984 as my daily driver.
CTRL-ESC works, I actually prefer it.

So yours is almost 40 years old, nice. It's amazing how far technology has moved in that time and here we are still using these ancient keyboards... they have seen some things we wouldn't believe.

We have the same exact brief...ehm...keyboard.

I'd have thought it would have yellowed more than that, did you have to treat it to make it look so good?
-
Surprisingly not, I don't think I've ever seen a yellowed Model M (or earlier Model F for that matter).

Cyrix gang rise up!

Told you people would love it :D I'm glad she lives!

Man I wish I had a curled up wire for keyboard and mouse... My wires are way too long and always get in the way.

I wish more modern keyboards had them as it's actually quite handy. I use it more for decoration purposes most of the time but it can be a real live saver if you keep misplacing smaller tools

But it's nothing special, those things were built like absolute tanks. You could kill someone with an early model M and then go right back to typing.
It does have a few battle scars but everything still works great and the keys are still very clicky
How do you deal with the multiple keystroke issues? If I remember correctly, it's only able to have a few simultaneous keystrokes before it doesn't recognize it.
