The one I bought 10–12 years back is still consistent and functional. The durability of this keyboard is unquestionable. The benefit of the IBM Model M is that it uses a buckling spring mechanism which makes it a little hard on the fingers, but it helps users overcome the issue of not knowing if a key was pressed hard enough. Modern-day keyboards use a rubber-switch beneath the buttons and are so soft that it's hard to know if you've pressed the key or not, which is a problem for new learners. This is an old model, but the keys are properly spaced out. The keyboard I use is the IBM Model M keyboard. Gray: You should use your thumb for pressing the Spacebar which is shown in gray color.Purple: Keys to be pressed by the right hand with your pinky finger/little finger.Violet: Keys to be pressed by the right hand with your ring finger.Dark Blue: Keys to be pressed by the right hand with your middle finger.Light Blue: Keys to be pressed by the right hand with your index finger/forefinger.Green: Keys to be pressed by the left hand with your index finger/forefinger.Yellow: Keys to be pressed by the left hand with your middle finger.Orange: Keys to be pressed by the left hand with your ring finger.Red: Keys to be pressed by the left hand with your pinky finger/little finger.You'll come to know all the positions only by daily practice. It will make the process even more difficult, and you might get discouraged. Don't try to do this too fast and without memorizing the keyboard layout first. The above image represents the correct finger position for typing. Image Via Strategy2Design Explanation of the Image Each key is associated with a finger which is color coded for easy reference.
