Ive seen NIB M13s go for 200 i believe. the price SHOULD be $75 for an m13 and $150 for an ssk. and $250 for a NIB SSK.

Well my budget would be around $150-200 so i guess the space saving is out of the question unless I find a great deal. I guess I should pick to my original plan on getting a Black M13

That's good to know. The Steelseries 7G i'm using right now is showing a little bit of wear on the handwrist area over the past year i've been using.

Thanks for the quick links. Did you search by the model name or model # since that was so fast

I have a black M13 in pretty good condition, available for a reasonable price. It's a 1998, iirc.

Check JPC's post of a refurb SSK. Personally, I feel bolt modded IBMs feel better than NIB models. At least, that's how I feel about the ones I have.

We exchange PMs. Btw when he mentions tenkeyless what does he mean? He replaced the keys?

He means a keyboard that ends with the navigation keys. There is no number pad on the Space Saving Keyboard.
