Happy with my child-resistant IBM keyboardΒΆ

Tags: personal

I was already very happy with my real IBM keyboard. You know, those heavy click-di-click things. Spill coffee, have it run over by a car, etc. and it still works.

Well, I'm happy to have such a keyboard when Rianne (+1.5 years old) starts typing (read: banging) on it. I doubt I'd have such peace of mind when I'd have an ordinary keyboard.

If you want such a keyboard yourself: second hand is a good possibility. If you want them new, unicomp sells them. They're called the "customizer 101/104" or the "linux 101". Choose the "bucking spring" variant, that's the Mighty Click.
