I want it for the box :lol:
It's a Lexmark right? I assume it's basically the same as a full size blue label but tenkeyless?
No, it's not a Lexmark. Yes, it's the same as a full-sized Model M, minus the tenkey.
Er, yes, it IS a Lexmark.Made in USA in or after 1991 = Lexmark.The changeover date was in 1991.
No worries; if you search for this you'll find me making the same mistake about 2 years ago Lexmark acquired IBM's US-based keyboard manufacturing business overall; that doesn't mean they actually changed anything immediately, but it was under their control as early as 1991, which does include some of the gray labels for sure.1993 is the year when visible changes started appearing, along with new models.
Either way, I don't think it should matter. It's the same manufacturing process, plants, etc. Not sure why people get hung up about the manufacturer.
How wide are ssk compared to leo tkl? I want one that will fit in my laptop bagSent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
Is a NIB SSK really that awesome? =D
I dunno. Is finding something you like, which is no longer produced, that has been sitting unused in new condition in a box for the past 20 years, awesome?!
Unless you're a collector, a germaphobe, or too lazy to clean it yourself, then no.
what puzzles me is why are people constantly bidding on the damn keyboard??? are they retarded or something?
My concern with buying a non-NIB is that you're buying a 15-20yo used keyboard. Granted the M is built like an AK-47, it's still a used 20yo piece of hardware. With a NIB, chances are that I would be using it for the rest of my life.
