Found this old girl on the side of the road with her cable cut and missing an arrow and minus keycap.
Gave her a good clean up, a fellow 'M' owner kindly donated an arrow key (and threw in a red esc key as well), I fabricated a replica cable using the original sdl connector and a ps/2 extension cable and gave her a screw mod.
Still have to get hold of the minus keycap but shipping to Australia is $30+ ouch!
Using this at work and it is one big beautiful step up from the Microsoft Natural Ergonomic 4000 (even though I cleaned and lubed it too).
