Lexmark Model M 1398601, $39.99 shipped

Rare IBM Lexmark Computer Clicky Keyboard M 1398601 5004439 10/92 ASIS UNTESTED (eBay)


113473-0


113475-1


These don't pop up very often—the only Model M variant Lexmark sold under their own name. (ClickyKeyboards.com: "We have not seen this keyboard in any other keyboard collection.") With the cool large back label from the first of the 2 production years. Missing L Shift and a few caps, but still quite reasonable.

I have a Lexmark SSK - a fine keyboard :)
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

Yes, it is a nice keyboard.
I have both the SSK and the full-sized versions.

I like the white stems.

I'm guessing shipping is the prohibitive cost...try your luck in the "Free Stuff!" classifieds thread. I donated a Model M 1391401 recently, maybe someone else will be feeling generous at some point :)
