Yep, that's an M2 (http://geekhack.org/showwiki.php?title=IBM+Wiki#The+Model+M1+M2+IBM+Selectric+Touch+Keyboard).

I'm tempted to get it now... although I probably shouldn't. It just looks so innocent and tasty. I really like that form-factor, much resembles a KB-8923.

EDIT: shipping $30 lol! Yeah.... no thanks. I should go hunt for some locally.

The recent talk of M2s just tapped into a part of my memory I'd lost for a while...I own an M2. It's at another family member's house, but I own one, and it worked last time I saw it (but that could be an easy 4 years ago).

$32 to ship to Canada is a bit pricey. Full Model M goes for something like $28 USPS Priority (which is what that is). Maybe USPS's rates went up?
