Anybody able to tell if this could possibly not be rubber dome?

BTW, the vendor does have pre-1992 Model M's for $35 apiece (not listed there) but shipment from Poland would cost some ($37 for one, $53 for two, $65 for three and so on judging by the prices of our postal service, possibly a couple bucks more if they exceed 2 kilos of weight).

Works better without session ID.

'fraid that's a rubber dome, and not even one of the good FSCs (which would have keycaps with a spherical rather than cylindrical cross-section, as well as a shorter RShift on older samples).

The site still seems wacky though. In any case the only mechanicals I've seen listed are ML4400s (Cherry G84-4400, ML switches with trackball).

Thanks. Sorry for not noticing the linking problem.

I've recently managed to get 3 split FJS keyboards from a different vendor through the same site, $7 each (IBM rubber dome SK8820 were $3 each and I broke my wpm record the first or second time I plugged one in, which was after a year of using scissors... you can't get much better with a dome than this).

KBPC Es? Not a bad deal. NKRO, too...

The older RapidAccess Keyboards are supposed to be the best IBM 'domes though. Should be KB-8923 and KB-7993.

Looks like the SK-8820 isn't a bad modern-day office workhorse though, even if they're probably made in one of those factories with precarious working conditions in mainland China...
