More than likely.  Those keyboards were shipped with the IBM AT, and the same technology (called "buckling-spring") was used on the XT, PC, and the Selectric typewriter.

Mine is from 1994, it's eight years old, and still works like new.

And these keyboards in the EB (where I am right now) are worththless.  No noise, mushy keys, tiny Backspace, \ is in the wrong spot, and the Enter key is way too big.  I want my Model M back.

I can do better than that. I have a Model T keyboard. You need to Crank it to get it to work. You can only do about one key press every five seconds with it, so it can keep up. It also breaks down a lot, too.

Aye.

BTW, my keyboard is completely normal other than the addition of the Windows key; it IS useful in Windows though.

However, in Unix that key can be a pain.

It's also a pain during Counter-Strike (oops, pressed the Windows key); hey, %*#$ POS!  Now I have to probbaly quit CS and rejoin b/c the game is probably &*$#ed up!!
