Every time I click on a link to a KB on ebay I see this.  I think they're going to get me to buy it eventually, just through pure repetition...

And yeah, looks to me like an M2

Yeah, marketing software is scarily smart these days. I bought a vacuum cleaner from Amazon two years ago. Now they know they I'm totally into vacuum cleaners and crave for more vacuum cleaners, so my entry page has been full of vacuum cleaners ever since.

Standard buckling spring M2. And yes, the keys are flat, they are like that on all M2s.

In what time where these released? Could they have been affected by the "capacitor plague"?

Well if it works, it would be a nice little keyboard. I must admit normal model Ms are quite gigantic.

I guess that's why everyone is going the Space Saver route. Too bad the M2 has a bad reliability track record.

Way too early then to have those famously bad capacitors. Still, they picked an unreliable one.

I have one of those in a working state (whith the original capacitors), but I don't really like it. It is just as filmsy as the cheapest rubber dome.
