The pictures suck, but that price does NOT!


When I was looking for one a couple of months back, I was seeing a lot of $150-$200. I got an amazing deal from my friend and it was still more than this. If you don't have a model F, get the AT. It's large (not as big as the 122) but it's a lot easier to get up and running since it doesn't require a soarers and has a better layout than the XT (which also requires a soarer)

E TwentyNine,

Where'd you get the black keys on the Model F in your profile pic?

E TwentyNine,

IIRC they are from an M-13 (The black one with the trackpoint). I think Unicomp also sold custom keys like this with pad printed white legends for a while but stopped due to complaints of durability (they wear off over time). If you just want blank black keys, Unicomp still sells those.

Aer Fixus is correct, they're from an M-13.

Pfff.  It's all about having a 122-keyboard with half of the keys you never use.
