Notes
This keyboard was one of two M13s featured in the M13: Lexmark versus Unicomp article. This keyboard is pretty interesting simply for the fact it's a very late (and non-point of sales) IBM Model M. My best guess is that this keyboard was made by Unicomp for IBM as a replacement for dead original M13s. I decided to go with an overall blue theme for this keyboard due to the lock-lights IBM logo and icons; the blue keycaps are Unicomp's blue ANSI color printed key set and the blue nub cap is a generic Dell-blue textured pointing stick cap.
