Title: Is this what seller states? Model m or not?
Post by: hlehmann on Thu, 21 February 2013, 16:42:34

Noticed this at high price, photo looks like a flat keyboard not M typical - stated as model M.

Anyone know what version this is or if not as stated?

Probably rubber dome.

It's a rubber dome Model M2. The big plastic border was added on the rubber dome variants for reasons I'm not quite sure of.

The body isn't concave and the 4th area next to the LED's means it's not the Model M you want.
Even if it was, that price is nuts for a normal M.

Ch_123 has it correct, rubber dome M2.
