These are new POS keyboards with RJ11 connector. I don't know if they're buckling spring. The seller said the keys click when pressed. If this was a UK auction I'd snap one up to see if it could be converted to PS/2 or USB: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=140187589778

They're also selling brand new Spanish layout Lexmark Model Ms:

The POS keyboards look like M2s. If that is the case they have BS.

I wonder if you could just re-solder a ps2 cable to the PCB on the POS M2s.

That's what I was hoping. I read somewhere that you can fry the motherboard if you wire up a PS/2 connector incorrectly. I don't know if this is true, but +v and ground should be easy to determine.

IIRC, there are rubber dome M2s...

Or build an adapter.
