I just got me M13, I do really like it except one thing. The little trackpoint red dot doesn't provide enough grip for my finger. Any idea where I can get some cheap and good grip little red dot?

What you want to look for is thinkpad trackpoint caps. Besides the ones that came for free with my thinkpad, ebay is a cheap place for spares.

I cant get the TP on mine to work with my ID innovations. I'll use a different PS/2 to USB converter and a different cable just in case.

Plugged in both PS/2 cables (my motherboard has both) and mousenippled away.
It works really well but yeah I would really like a scroll wheel.

Other than that. For an old board like this it's surprisingly clean. The tiniest hint of dust between the keys and a tiny scratch on some keys but no other imperfections.
Quite pleased with these. :)

Just one left ;)

I sold mine after I realized I just couldn't work with full-sized anymore. But I can see where people get their preference for BS from.

Got the last one. Seller declined my $50 offer but accepted my next offer of $60. Have been considering getting one for a while but was putting it off to use the money on other things. I was in a buckling spring mood today after getting my Checkey clacks so I decided to jump on it :p

"9 available / 100 sold"

He's been adjusting his "how many left" count the whole time.  Swear this guy has a production line building these things.

Even at $60, totally worth it: these are in amazing shape. Like new I would say

Good to hear. I was a little worried about keycap wear but that makes me even more glad about my purchase.

Yes, it has a production line for sure.
 Unfortunately I am way over my budget this month but can somebody post some nice/detailed pictures of actual keyboard received from this seller ?

Mine looks almost unused (just dust). I can take some pictures with the last of today's light, but I don't think they will be "good".

edit: nevermind, can't find it in time, maybe tomorrow.

As promised:







The pictures don't quite show it, but the pad printing is unfortunately fairly obvious. Overall though, the board could pretty much pass for being new.

Thank you for the pictures, you convinced me to try to get one, considering the track-point was the original reason I get in to the "keyboard mania" in the first place.

Still hope that some day I will manage to mod some F 122 with a track point IV :)

Is he running that server on a teensy embedded in the F122?

In the interests of sanity, an imgur mirror of that:

Seller accepted my 50$ offer. Total cost 115$ ( 50$ Shipping + 15 Import charges ). If I will continue collecting keyboards I should really move to US in order to save a a fortune on shipping.

@dorkvader: Do you have any idea where (and how) did he put the trackpoint buttons  ? :P

I purchased one of these from him yesterday although I could not get two because he did not allow me to have two boards shipped together in one package and I really did not feel paying over 10% of the price I paid for it in shipping =( It was a bit depressing because it almost felt like he ignored all my messages about having the two items ship together (I sent many) and only read my other message saying I want to purchase another one.


NVM he just resent me a new invoice and he dropped the shipping for the second board. I guess he just really legitly missed the other messages I sent him
