Every now and then, even we have to use rubber-dome boards to avoid disturbing people, right?

These are actually quite well made (better than Keytronics of the same period, for example). And it's a cool, unusual colorway, and you can't beat the price.

It appears green in this photo, at least... I suppose it's possible the lighting was strange and made it look green. But it does seem awfully green—and I've never seen one like that, have you?

I see your point. If I had to use a rubber dome board this might be an option. I have one those rubber dome Model M’s already which preserves that vintage beige look.
