I like the blue arrows.

Space Saver w/ Busted NumLock (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=360348664769&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT#ht_3307wt_905)
Bet ya re-seating the key would fix it...

The last one is an IBM RS/6000 Lighted Program Function Keyboard. For anyone interested, it seems to sell for $10 less on the seller's own website...

I think the difference may be shipping.

Yeah, that last one Webwit bought.  There are instructions here for how to convert it to work on a PC (http://www.brutman.com/IBM_LPFK/IBM_LPFK.html).  Not sure if it's worth the bother though.

Maybe but it looks definitely cool

useless but cool, the whole marketing motto....


BTW is the Model M tenkeyless a true Model M, i mean clicky, good quality etc.
I'm looking for a model M to try

The busted Numlock SSK went for $128.50.  More than good condition SSK's were going for just a few months ago.  Seems the market for SSK's all around is skyrocketing.  But wonder if it'll be short-lived like the PC AT last year.

I actually was sad to see that SSK show up here in the great finds section, honestly.

Anyway, it's nothing a quick bolt mod wouldn't fix, which is likely why it went for as much as it did (I bid $100 on it).
