Chill out to the sounds of an expert typing on a variety of mechanical keyboards

Less commonplace, but still the closest relatives to a Model M

"Your correspondent is a bit of a fan of devices like this (this piece was typed on a 1991 IBM Model M; accept no substitute) – but no such brash, commonplace kit features on the album"

The Model F is the closest (and it's very close), the 5140 and P70 keyboards probably less so, but they're not to be sniffed at anyway. We've got a P70 in the museum[0]; the keyboard itself works OK and typing is indeed nice, but its cable is succumbing to Outer Sleeve Rot.

Daily keyboard is an Unicomp; at the office[1] it's a Cherry.
