Title: Mystery Model M clone ? on ebay
Post by: fohat.digs on Wed, 30 January 2013, 12:50:02

OK, so who won this? I was considering going a little higher, but just didn't have the drive.

Please give us a report when you get it.

Thanks

Fujitsu Peerless or a rubber dome + slider variant in the same case.
Not quite clicky, and not quite enjoyable.

Source: I owned one, and at one time a long time ago, these were very well known keyboards on this site.

I have one, it's meh. Kinda clicky, but not very pleasurable.

This.  I asked him the other day, and he said it was similar to a Fujitsu and I confirmed that's what it appears to be.
