Annotated keyboard collection photoIBM Model M Part # 1391401 Apple Design Keyboard Model M2980 Cherry Model ML4100 Apple Desktop Bus Keyboard Model A9M0330 Apple Keyboard Model M0116 NMB cheepo Windows 'board Model RT6856TW (This has both of the Windows keys I own) Apple MacBook My only other keyboard This is Chloe, my chick's cat. She isn't a typist, but she sometimes tries . . . ![]() I love keyboards. I can't get enough of them, so I ended up starting a collection of them. All but two of these are mechanical "clicky" boards, so it's a good thing my chick is a heavy sleeper, and some of them are over 20 years old.
This photo has notes. Move your mouse over the photo to see them.
I have models with key switches made by Cherry, Alps, and the fabled buckling springs in the IBM. Something I just figured out about my collection - none of these are USB. The Apples are ADB (Apple's version of PS/2), the rest are PS/2. I need converters to use any of them except the onboard in the MacBook.

The Cherry hacker style ML4100 is my current favorite. And yes, it is a mechanical key clicky 'board.
