Nice! Another Maxi Switch..

Went looking and could not find a review of the Maxi Switch. What makes it different than the normal BS?

Oh there is also a black M13 on ebay as well but I do not have the link for that right now. Don't remember if it was a Maxi Switch board or not but it was used instead of NIB.

I've had a couple MaxiSwitch produced M13s.  As far as I can tell, they never produced a standard M, only trackpoints and M15s.  Chronologically, they appear to slot between Lexmark and Unicomp.  Quality wise, they seem in the ballpark with the Lexmark boards.  Not sure MaxiSwitch as the manufacturer is anything to get excited about.
