Is this a third different model and is it mechanical?

That should answer the mechanical question.

Looks like you probably have the USB mini and what "Ergonomics Made Easy" is selling is equivalent to the PS/2 mini. Here is the Amazon link. It's listed right there on the SIIG website with MSRP of $49.99 rather than $95. "Ergonomics Made Easy" lists it as SKU BT40/5100-BLK. But it is apparently same as both the SIIG mini PS/2 as well as the BTC-5100c. Here is the Newegg BTC-5100c white version link (deactivated item). Same board, just different part numbers. These are out of stock everywhere I find them listed, seems like the PS/2 version is giving way to the newer USB ones.

Thanks...that makes it a little high-priced but possibly unavailable elsewhere.
I still wonder if that PS/2 mini is mechanical.

My guess would be no based on both general chatter on current SIIG type boards and the 20 million key switch cycle rating which is typically what rubber domes are rated at vs. mechanical more like 50 million IIRC.
