Title: Ibm - 1399356
Post by: datacenter on Thu, 08 September 2011, 01:53:28

Hello guys,

I have been poking around and found an IBM keyboard, but I cannot identify it.... goggled for an hour but no result...

This is a picture of the name tag: h*tp://img12.imageshack.us/img12/8691/ibmunknown.jpg
The model is: 1399356

Do you  have any clue is it mechanical or what technology does it use... because I am thinking of buying it.
Thanks in advance for sharing your knowledge.

It's almost certainly a Model M2 (http://deskthority.net/wiki/IBM_Selectric_Touch_Keyboard) in a European layout, and probably has buckling springs.

How much are they asking for it?

I would like to confirm that it is M2.
I bought it....it was 10 euros, but had a lot of issues and it's not usable. The guy promised me another one, but we will see. It was nothing like Modem M... quite poor key feeling.
