Yeah ^^

The BIN price is actually very reasonable. I would buy this keyboard if I had more money to spend on keyboards atm. The numpad is extremely rare and the keyboard is in good condition.

The M15 is this: http://deskthority.net/wiki/IBM_Adjustable_Keyboard

It’s the same switches as the “M2” keyboard. http://deskthority.net/wiki/IBM_Selectric_Touch_Keyboard

Basically a cheaper, flimsier, not quite as nice feeling version of the Model M.

Oh, they added the BIN.  When I posted it, there was only the bid option.  Yeah, the price for it is more than reasonable, especially with the numpad.

I'm guessing I'd need a converter for both?

Why is this thing worth so much, just a really rare BS board and numpad?

It's the only split BS board there is and the numberpad isn't found often. A couple years back, you couldn't touch one for less than $1000

The numpad plugs into the keyboard, the keyboard connects to your computer via PS/2, or get a PS/2 to USB adapter.

Man, that's a pretty great price for one of these, especially considering it included the numpad. I'd still prefer the normal IBM branded version :P
