The 71G4644 is rubber domes.

Be careful out there folks.

Someone should advise the seller if he's hearing clicks from that keyboard that he should see a doctor, :wink:.

Actually since clicky is a defined term (unlike "semi-clicky") this counts as a fraudulent listing. I reported him. I estimate about a 1/10 chance of eBay doing crap, but hey.

not clicky, but noisy. There is a well-defined sound on every keypress, not to mention the noise from the keys rattling in the barrels.


I know! Everyone has a clicky M. Be the first on your block with a RATTLY, THUDDY IBM keyboard.

Is there an official ebay dictionary? Like a scrabble dictionary?

Lo, my id of qi or clicky zloties.

@MW:  Is your M5-2 buckling spring or rubber dome? Is the trackball usable?
