So THRILLED! Modeling Clay Mod Makes Unicomp Model M Mini Feel Premium
Made one of my absolute favorite modifications to my Unicomp Model M Mini today. 😍
While the keys offer a fantastic (IMO) feel and sound that is a direct throwback to the original IBM Model M SSK, the body has a light plastic feel that is a bit ‘creaky’ to the touch.
I ordered modeling clay and filled out the hollow spaces in the top and bottom cases, and WOW, what an amazing difference. The unit is now a pound heavier, and the creakiness is gone. It went from feeling like a light, cheap keyboard to something of substance.
The sound is also significantly better with less of that high-pitched hollow plastic sound and more of a deep clacking sound.
I continue to love this Unicomp keyboard, and now, with some tweaks that cost less than $10, it feels and sounds even better!
