IBM Space Saving Keyboard "SSK" Model M review (IBM buckling spring)

[Chyros]

Finally I get to show you an SSK! IBM probably never thought that these would become so popular decades later xD . Hope you enjoy the video!

Were you using this SSK with some level of reprogramming? It didn't escape notice that you talked about the "Num Lock" key... which actually is the Scroll Lock key (on the SSK, Num Lock is obtained with Shift-Num Lock).

Besides my pet peeve, my one criticism to this video is that, when talking about the numpad, you could have shown a close-up picture of it from another SSK; although it can be seen at 0:47 and 2:27, the attention is focused elsewhere with an entire keyboard on display.

Scroll lock is a myth!

I rarely use a numpad, but I'm still glad the SSK comes with one. It's useful when you need to type in an alt code like I occasionally do. You're right tho it sucks if you actually want to use it as one and the number row is much faster.
