SpecPicks Verdict
SpecPicks scored IBM Model M Keyboard 1391401 using a rating × review-volume × price-fit model applied to published specs and reviews across the keyboards & mice category. IBM's keyboards & mice lineup sits within the broader category mid-tier; price and specs are the deciding factors over brand loyalty here.
