Spoke with Unicomp today and they sound extremely interested! If this thread can get some more votes, then we can get a real estimate of what products to request pricing for.

LeukybearI don't think they are actually going to release the m83. Did you look at the date of the post? (April 1st)

ChickenpolloOn the contrary, they *need* to produce this keyboard to stay relevant and away from the red.
It's obvious, Unicomp is struggling against the onslaught of Asian mechs. The general user wants something shiny, compact, glammed up with an assortment of MX switches rather than the definition of no-frills beige office keyboard that they primarily rely on to stay afloat.
Worse is their keyboards use durability as a selling point and they won't need to be replaced for decades. For the record, I'm tying this on a 28 year old model m which just had its life extended indefinitely with a bolt mod.
This puts them in an awkward financial catch-22. Where's their cash flow?
