"it looks like a keyboard with crammed keys on the side and no numpad"
some people like small keyboards because they never use a numpad or anything (me) and would rather have more space, but not all mechanical keyboards are like this, let alone something from the 90's

why are you so interested in the old time ones though, are you just collecting them? Why don't you seem to care to much about the modern day keyboards.

I have many questions that need to be answered

old ones tend to be cooler and have a larger variety of keyswitches
new ones almost always have cherry mx which isn't all that bad but not the best either, and all of the new mechanicals are almost always marketed as gamer keyboards
the only typist marketed keyboard today is probably topre but those cost well over $250

"Why don't you seem to care to much about the modern day keyboards."

let me answer that question

keyboards today are dominated by rubber domes

they're the cheap keyboards you can get for less than $50 and to a mechanical keyboard user they just feel mushy and unpleasant

which are bad for enthusiasts and are bad for your fingers

today mechanical keyboards are mostly cherry MX which typically start at $80 (i use cherry mx browns) or one of their knockoffs which isn't bad but a lot of mechanical keyboard users have already tried them all and a lot of the fancy pants old timey switches were made more than 20 years ago when there were no rubber domes

there are a lot of products where 'the good stuff' was made a long time ago

like vinyls record players and keyboards

It depends on the two keyboards you're comparing
Compare a Razer BlackWidow 2014 (new) vs. an IBM Model M SSK (old) and the Model M will win by far.
Then again, you could also compare a RealForce Topre keyboard (new) against an ancient Amstrad keyboard (old) and the RealForce would win by a million miles.

I really would like to see it. I could identify if it's mechanical or not easily. Seriously, even without pictures under the keycap is enough.

see i was right, i'm truly a skin moisturizer

@flames
usually keyboards without windows keys and a weird layout is a very good sign that it's mechanical
also any keyboard that is cherry branded and has a G80/G81/G84 model number is mechanical, although the G81s are quite horrible
