How does this compare with unicomp keyboards ( https://www.pckeyboard.com/ ) Both are marketed as buckling spring monsters but surely there are some competent actual reasons to spend the extra money on the model-F?
The difference between model m (what unicomp is producing a replica of) and model F is pretty large.
Model F was before they started making the design cheaper (I know. Model M is known for its outstanding quality, but it is in fact a product of cheaping out from the production of the F).
Model F's are capacitive. That means "N-key rollover", and something like 4x the rated key press count rating. They are also smoother than Model M. The build is MUCH sturdier than the M.
I had an old 122 key model F and it weighed 4 kgs.
