The last one is an IBM RS/6000 Lighted Program Function Keyboard. For anyone interested, it seems to sell for $10 less on the seller's own website...

I think the difference may be shipping.

Yeah, that last one Webwit bought.  There are instructions here for how to convert it to work on a PC.  Not sure if it's worth the bother though.


Maybe but it looks definitely cool

useless but cool, the whole marketing motto....


BTW is the Model M tenkeyless a true Model M, i mean clicky, good quality etc.

The busted Numlock SSK went for $128.50.  More than good condition SSK's were going for just a few months ago.  Seems the market for SSK's all around is skyrocketing.  But wonder if it'll be short-lived like the PC AT last year.

I actually was sad to see that SSK show up here in the great finds section, honestly.

Anyway, it's nothing a quick bolt mod wouldn't fix, which is likely why it went for as much as it did (I bid $100 on it).
HHKB Pro 2 -- Custom UNIX layout Unicomp Customizer 101 -- IBM Model M 1391401 (modded to UNIX layout) -- IBM 1397000 (also UNIX layout) -- SSK in UNIX layout -- Model F 122 key in UNIX layout (Soarer USB "native")
 
CST L-TracX trackball -- Kensington Expert Mouse trackball
