Hi all, I’m Shark - IBM keyboard lover, r/ModelM subreddit and Discord moderator, and a watcher of Level1Techs (of course). Thought I’d finally take a dive into the forums here!
Anyway, I thought people would be interested in this (especially since wendell is/was a Model M user himself). About a month and a bit ago, I was contacted by Unicomp to help critically review a prototype of the upcoming Mini M. This is my article on my experience with the Mini M over my initial three-week period with it, some details of the Mini M’s new features, and how/what I reported to Unicomp as things to fix/improve! If you have any questions about the Mini M or the experience, feel free to ask!

Note: this is a prototype keyboard, thus not fully representative of the final product coming later this month. I also did not receive any money from Unicomp to do this nor am I monetising this endeavour - everything I’ve written is my honest thoughts and is unfiltered by external parties.
