Here you go.

Here's another.

They aren't rare, but I figure I'd post anyway.

Warning.  Those are, likely, the "quiet touch" version.  (i.e. no buckling spring...instead, a rubber dome sheet)  They absolutely suck to type on.

I bought a On -the-Ball keyboard from Unicomp last Feb.
Manufacturing date was Feb 25, 2009.
It is a Buckling Spring  version and has the unique clicky sound.

Unicomp makes both types.  The first one listed is a quiet touch; the second one doesn't show the model number.

How good are the trackballs on these things?

Whilst I doubt that they'd be good enough to replace my Logitechs, it's a nice looking design. I might consider getting one at some stage.

For the price someone paid on that second one ($89) I'd just order a new one from Unicomp directly, but that's just me.

The track ball works, but I like to use  Logitechs mouse.
