I was watching this, but it's gone over my limit. Ends in 9 hours.

I fully expect this to go $60+
Natively PS/2 compatible 122-key? Yeah. I don't like the newer forms of them, prefer the old big clunky ones, but definitely a nice board if only for the compatibility.
Not model F. Crappy enter key.
I'd use a model F terminal just for the sake of a better layout and amazing clicky action.

The Model Fs have the funky one too.
The case form implies Model M as well, it's the smaller revised version.
So - AT compatible is scary stuff - not so clear that sane signals will be generated for a lot of the keys.
presumably it will respond to a request to go into mode-3 with sane behaviour, but I found unicomp's 122 to be frustrating to work with due to the neither here nor there mappings. a mess of the keys would just generate a shifting of another key, and it was up to yer terminal app to translate those back into something resembling IBM messages. As far as extra keys to map in windows, though - it's going to be ugly to use autohotkey - it struggles enough to generate shifted and other meta'd mappings without the keyboard interjecting shiftage periodically into the stream too.
bah.
