No, they have basically the same design as later sculptured Kinesis boards:http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=36146That guy has more info about modding his Kinesis 100 at his website: http://epiguru.com/?s=kinesis
I haven't opened up a Model 100 in some time so I can't say for certain, but I also agree it's likely not a mod. The Model 100 was the very first product from Kinesis and everyone in the company from the owner on down were building these keyboards by hand in a small room! The company has grown quite a bit since then but we'll probably never stop using hot glue (just not as much!) and we still solder each individual key switch manually.
