Post by: bazemk1979 on Fri, 10 February 2012, 22:44:29

I have seen some rankmounts by Compaq with trackball, one model had the brown switches, how about this one? and is the rear of the keyboard exposed like that for rackmounting or it should come with optional plastic cover,waithing for your reply....thanks

Someone is determined to make friend to just ripster on this forum, but I bet he'll be flattered.

Sorry I am not the one u want to be friend with, but I asked google for you and this is what i found

I wouldn't get it even if it is mechanical if i were you.

not much info about being mechanical or not, on another note this one is totally different that the beige version that is track mount but also wrapped in plastic housing I think was MX-1180 or something like that and it came with browns,not much info on this model but looks like not so great options for the home PC desk either....
