    Model M is another survivor of the mass extinction but since the switches aren’t discreet it was hard to put it in the image. Great boards!

        Lmao, I wouldn’t want to share a room with someone else with one.

        For anyone not in the know, when I said discreet I meant modular switches like MX or alps. Buckling springs all share a common barrel plate and sending assembly. It is why you can’t just have a single loose buckling spring switch really.

      It’s a survivor the same way the coelacanth or horseshoe crab is - a living fossil.
