New build with recycled parts on a ridiculous budget 120cm*60cm work area

The bottom one is the 25 years old keyboard, they do not make them with grey buttons anymore.....I think,lol!

The top one is 25 years old! IBM used PBT which doesn't yellow (Although there are some rare ABS examples) so the keyboard looks new even after 25 years of use! It does have loose plastic rivets so I need to strip it and bolt mod it a common problem on the old model M keyboards. The white one is an Ambra keyboard made by IBM and branded Ambra (Which was meant to be their budget range only lasted 1 year, mostly because they didn't change anything so it wasn't very budget lol) which may be why it has white caps. Unicomp still make model M's to this day and I got the classic IBM style keyboard so it comes with classic keycaps.

Model M's created the keyboard layout we use today which is why they are so popular still, model f's are even better to type on and sought after but have a weird keyboard lay out which is just too funky for me. And it's harder to find a model f keyboard in the UK and I like having a UK keyboard. I grew up with model f keyboard was a thing of beauty especially as we also had a speccy which had the 2nd worst keyboard ever!
