Deskthority's TG3 page (https://deskthority.net/wiki/TG3_KBA-BL82/BLT) has muchos detalles interesantes on these.

BTW, anyone know if the trackpad's plug 'n' play, or if it needs a driver? (The company's still around (http://tg3electronics.com/mountable-keyboards/).)

I bought one. The trackpad is plug 'n' play, no driver needed, works on both Windows and Mac. But the trackpad is a little bit small, and does not support multi-touch.

And you got it the next day! That's fast.

Well, it is designed for dashboard use, so it's bound to be compact. And no, I wouldn't expect vintage-y keebs like these to have modern trackpad features. Still, this is about what you'd pay for postage on most MKs—so hey, right?

And in case anyone's interested, here's a TL (trackpad-less, heh) one that's also NIB, and it's backlit—but it's more dough:

BIN $31.50 + shipping, or Make Offer

Interesting how they use the same box for both models, isn't it?

Someone needs to teach this seller to press his camera button partway down to focus, too.
