I have been toying with picking one of the Unicomp's up over the past
year...But I keep seeing conflicting reviews and info about they arrive in
pieces requiring reassembly (Which is not an issue, just concerning). Another
I keep coming across is the machining tools making the keys and such are old
and creating keys that are wobbly, loose, not always the click effect like
the ones of 20+ years ago.  

I know people have huge expectations and will post negative reviews way more
than positive. So I am just wondering if anyone on here has picked up a recent
Unicomp and what do you think?

Wish I did not toss my 2 old M keyboards away years ago! Argh!!!
