Has this got springs that buckle?  Maybe not ...

But look at all those pretty keycaps :D

$40 BiN

Visiting the link on the bottom of the board makes it seem as though the model on ebay is a relative steal:

But looking at it more, that model number translates to this.....

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16823131019

Unclear what the switch is really, outside of the described "High quality membrane switch" but the board on auction is definitely a looker!  :D

Should be rubber dome. Key Tronic made several models that look like an M.

They made virtually nothing that's interesting, with the exception of some magnetic reed switches in the 70s.

Sold already.

Anyone here get it?

Are those keycaps compatible with a buckling spring Model M, by any chance?
