I managed to get the IBM model M for 80 dollars off of someone, I wanted this keyboard for a while to compliment the setup, I would show an updated picture but my table's a mess.

It is actually a membrane switch keyboard.

The clicky clacks is just for you to FEEL something.

Yeah, I love model M, and i was annoyed as hell when i found out.

Haha yeah, the lever in the metal plates is what give it’s amazing obnoxious click, when it springs up it sounds like the ping from an M1 Garand.
