Let me tell you about how I learned that Unicomp used to make rubber dome model M's... (lemmy.world)

...It was about ten minutes after I saw that my "ridiculous low-ball" Ebay bid for a branded battlecruiser had won. That said, it is way snappier (and louder) than any rubber dome I've ever used. It's not a bad board at all, really, though the terminal scan code set it was flashed with means the converter is more or less mandatory, despite the board having a PS/2 connector.

Yeah, if you were using one of these rubber dome M's, then the tactile event is firm and has quite the drop-off. I like it better than the average dome, but it's not fuckin' around.
