IBM 71G4640 Model M is a buckling spring keyboard ?
« on: Sun, 13 March 2011, 15:35:22 »
The question is in the title

I found that one on ebay and can't find if it's dome or buckling spring...

Who knows ?

Thanks

I've never heard of that particular model before, but each and every 7XGXXX board I've ever seen have all been rubber dome, so my money's on this one also being a rubber dome.

The IBM wiki talks about looking out for those for reasons of rubber-domeness.
