Dear reader!

I've finally obtained it, my goshdang endgame keyboard!

The IBM Model F 122 key. IBM 6110344 in my case. I just finished a very basic restoration and am extremely excited to keep using this board.

The only question left on my mind is, what now? I've spent all these years collecting more and more interesting board, rotating between them every once in a while. But this board surpasses even my previous love (Focus FK-5001)
Where the hell do I go from here? Maybe a kishsaver down the line...

Oh, something will come along. Nice board. I have one myself (6110344 May 85).

You can pick up some ergonomic keyboards ... as a detour from old keyboards :)

Well, if you also like FK-5001… keyboards with white or blue Alps are a very deep rabbit hole. Omnikey series and Leading Edge DC-3014 are my favorite vintage boards.
