The company was founded in April, 1996 when they purchased the license to the buckling-spring keyboard technology (the technology behind the famous [[IBM Model M]] and many other keyboards) from [[Lexmark International]], Inc. Unicomp's product line consists mostly of old IBM/Lexmark designs, or slight modifications of those designs. For example, Unicomp's Customizer 101 is an exact copy of the 42H1292 (later variant of Model M, non-detachable cable, drain holes in case of beverage spillage, built on the same machines as the original), with the only changes being color (black instead of white) and availability in USB. They do, however, have many other products, such as a 104-key variant with [[Windows key]]s, custom keyboards, and keyboards with built in [[trackball]]s or [[TrackPoint]]s (like those found on IBM ThinkPad notebooks). In addition, Unicomp sells replacement parts for older IBM/Lexmark keyboards, and will repair just about any keyboard manufactured by themselves, IBM, or Lexmark. Their entire product line is manufactured in the [[United States]] at their Lexington factory, and feature an 18-month warranty, except for the Value Plus/SK-720C, and SK-7500 wireless, which are manufactured by contract manufacturer [[SiliTek]], a division of the Taiwanese peripheral manufacturer [[LiteON]], most likely in [[China]] or [[Malaysia]]. Unicomp products can be purchased at the company's [[Yahoo!]] store, or by telephone. In addition, Unicomp offers custom design services. == External links == *[http://www.pckeyboard.com Official website] *[http://jseliger.wordpress.com/2008/05/07/product-review-unicomp-customizer-keyboard Review that includes company information] [[Category:Companies established in 1996]] [[Category:Computer peripheral companies]] [[Category:Companies based in Lexington, Kentucky]]
