Technical Description

Introduction: This keyboard, an IBM Lexmark Model M (Blue label), has undergone meticulous selection, assessment, refurbishment, and screw-based modifications by a skilled professional. Produced in 1993, it boasts the distinctive rubber dome non-clicky key action. The subsequent sections delineate the specifics of this keyboard's attributes and the refurbishment process it has undergone.

Keyboard Specifications: The IBM Lexmark Model M keyboard features the Blue label variant and is in excellent condition. This keyboard, known for its durability and exceptional performance, was expertly refurbished and modified with bolt-based approach. While minor signs of wear might be evident due to its vintage nature, its overall condition remains impressive.

Expert Recommendation: It is strongly advised to make purchases from experienced professionals rather than those prioritizing quick monetary gains through advertising "refurbished or modded keyboards." Our team of enthusiasts takes pride in their meticulous work, ensuring the revival of IBM Model M keyboards to their former glory.

Important Considerations: Avoid the usage of USB converters or adapters unless they are specifically designed or compatible with the IBM Model M keyboard. Incompatible adapters could lead to functionality issues, thereby necessitating cautious use.

Modding Process Overview: The refurbishment procedure entails disassembling the keyboard, cleaning components with a liquid solution via an Ultrasonic Cleaner, and removing plastic rivets on the metal plate for accessing the membrane, rubber mat, and support frame. Every buckling spring is meticulously examined and cleaned before reassembly (if applicable). This process involves cleaning the support frame, keyboard case, and rubber mat, as well as scrutinizing the membrane for stains. To enhance durability, the support frame is modified for screw/ bolt-based attachment.

Differentiating Refurbished from Standard Models: Ordinary, non-modified second-hand or new models often suffer from a common issue—broken plastic rivets that compromise the keyboard's functionality and feel. These rivets degrade with time and cause issues. Moreover, the keyboards may contain decades of accumulated debris. Unlike sellers who offer superficial cleaning, our comprehensive refurbishment process ensures superior performance.

Condition Assurance: We assure you that the keyboard's condition aligns with the provided description, instilling confidence in its performance and value.

Purchase Considerations: Prospective buyers should be aware that this item is sold without warranties and does not support returns, except in cases of defects upon arrival. The product is offered "as is," and the provided images accurately represent its current state.
