That is interesting...tenkeyless of that type with trackpoint is far from what we commonly see.

But, if the feel is like the similar fullsize version, it's not worth any amount of money...junk.

True, it's very rare as the seller says but not the best keyboard for sure.  I have a couple of the fullsize versions.  They aren't great but there are worse.  The trackpoint -might- make it worth it in my book.  Perhaps more similar to the IBM Space Saver II than anything else?  I love trackpoints so the Space Saver II rates OK in my book because it's OK and has the trackpoint.

That's the Spacesaver II, the spiritual successor of the original IBM Spacesaver (M4-1)
