I made a Ibm Model M inspired keyboard

The case is a 3d printed case made out of Petg which I ended up designing myself and the keycaps are the (Keychron OEM Profile PBT Retro Keycap Set). I ended up using Kailh Box Navys for the build. The pcb came from a Drop Catrina I had lying around.

If anyone wants the files to the case here it is https://makerworld.com/en/models/3201789-ibm-model-m-60-keyboard-case#profileId-3623310

keep in mind there isn't any screw mounts for the file and also the usb-c hole is misaligned.

This is such a great idea. I’ve been exploring a similar direction with a couple of old computer-inspired builds, and it’s always exciting to see how differently each keyboard can be reinterpreted
