I snagged an On-the-Ball UNICOMP clicky M keyboard for $10 ($10 shipping)

it came from this website:

If the link doesn't work, it may have been removed as a result of having been bought.

I've seen these before and wondered how useful the trackball would really be considering its location. How is it working out for you?

It is a buckling spring, they have checked that out for me, and I have used one of the IBM keyboards like this and they are very easy to use.  I am lucky I found this one for such a cheap price, they are $109 new and I have wanted a trackball keyboard like this since my friend found one in the trash at school.

The hell is wrong with people, tossing out such keyboards?!  Sheesh.

I prefer clicky keyboards, even though this will be my first clicky keyboard I have had in over 5 years... my last one my parents got rid of on computer recycle day... what a sad day that was....

I found mine at work in the garbage. It was old and ugly, so they threw it out. I liked the trackball, so I took it home. I'm using it right now.
