Enter the IBM Model M. This mechanical keyboard was the OG of gaming gear, and it was the keyboard that started it all. It was a true workhorse, built to last and designed for the most demanding users. It was the keyboard that set the standard for all other gaming keyboards to come.

Fast forward to today, and the gaming gear landscape has changed dramatically. We now have keyboards with customizable backlighting, programmable macros, and even built-in displays. But with all of these bells and whistles, it seems that we've lost sight of what really matters in a keyboard: its build quality and typing feel.

The IBM Model M was built to last, with sturdy construction and a durable design that would stand up to years of heavy use. And when it came to typing, the Model M was simply unmatched. Its mechanical switches provided a satisfying and tactile typing experience that was simply unmatched by any other keyboard on the market.

So what happened to the IBM Model M? Well, it's still around, but it's become a bit of a niche product. While it still has a loyal following among fans of mechanical keyboards, it's not the go-to choice for most gamers.

And that's a shame, because the IBM Model M was the keyboard that started it all. It's a testament to the power of good design and solid construction, and it's a reminder that sometimes the simplest solutions are the best. So the next time you're shopping for a gaming keyboard, don't forget about the OG of gaming gear: the IBM Model M.
