Well that's funny, one that isn't made in mexico and that has a speaker.

Wow, seller needs a better camera... And/or some lights...

Ahem.  Who was it that contradicted my comment that NCBOUND10 tends to shift his pics a bit to the blue in a pseudo RetrObrite?

Seems much less likely that a model M would need this treatment that many other keyboards.  But there could be a script or macro set up to blue shift all pictures I guess.

I've never seen a Mexican-made Model M that has a speaker in it. Only IBM OPD/Lexmark and Greenock ones.

To be fair most  Ebay sellers don't know how to use a camera and set white balance.  Another of his listings.  Probably takes his pics near a window.   I swear I see a dog's face in the reflection.

I think you're right, I swear that I see Marmaduke...

I'm pretty sure Elitekeyboards Corp.  consists of Majestouch and his dog.


Well, it definitely doesn't consist of Filcos which are no longer available on the site, apparently.  It's Topre or nothing around there.

What's the problem with that Sly?

Topres are as good as it gets for modern keyboards.

"Topre or nothing" is preferable to "Filco or nothing"...especially Filco Cherry MX Browns...yawn   ;)

He's a stand up guy and an exceptional ebay seller.  Maybe not perfect, but who is?
