Apparently it's a rebranded 122-key Model M.

Nice, but I got so many NIB buckling springs boards. Awesome price for someone that havent tried out one.

I prefer the black/grey one, but shipping is a little higher

I'd recommend BS, it's pretty great. I use a model F-122 (actually larger than this keyboard) every day, and I love it.

I believe these keyboards work over normal PS2, but I haven't tried. you have to be careful: some will only work with terminals. There's a lot of weird stuff with these, but I think they just use terminal emulation software, and will act like a regular KB normally.

Ofcourse they might not. I wonder if someone has one already, and they can weigh in.
