My IBM keyboard part number database hits 2,500 part numbers!

Approximately six months after the database reached 2,000, we’re now at 2,500! Once again, I thought I’d make a bunch of slides to celebrate the occassion and outline some interesting stats that can be derived from my database!

The part number database is a long-term project on my website, Admiral Shark’s Keyboards, to document as many IBM and family keyboards (Model Bs, Model Fs, Model Ms, ThinkPad keyboards, etc.) by their part number as possible, with the goal to help people research, ID keyboards and avoid being tricked by misrepresented keyboards online. Here’s an example (using a standard Model M) of what data you can expect from the database.

Cheers!
