Another so-called good deal, NIB Model M on sale!
« on: Sun, 25 August 2013, 03:52:40 »
The catch?

It's a Model M rubber dome (according to seller)!

Are rubber domes really worth that much? We must have some rubber dome fans willing to pay so much.

the rubberdome keyborads share a lot of parts in common with a "normal" M. The case, controller, memberane, barrel frame (chimneys as unicomp calls it) cable and plate are all the same. I think only the keycaps mat and springs/hammers are different. It'd make a good parts unit or cheap conversion to BS if you wanted a project.

It's not bad for a rubberdome, but then again, I think plate mounted rubberdomes aren't bad.
