EBAY: IBM Keyboard DECEPTION!
« on: Wed, 29 June 2011, 14:08:14 »
Bah...very cool looking ergonomic keyboard but in fact not clicky as advertised.  He was just trying to get "keyboard enthusiasts" attention.  (Read: suckers, who pay a lot for weird keyboards.)  

The joy is in the clickety-clack, how dare he attempt to decieve me?

If you thought this was a keyboard called IBM Deception...indeed that would be awesome, but nay, tis not.

Sir, the sting of your meme is like the slap from a wet noodle.  Your wife might appreciate that kind of disappointment, but I do not.

This is not a clicky , I just put that in my heading so it would come up on a search that collectors look at . It is an ultra rare urgonomic keyboard for the IBM pc by ErgoLogic Enterprise Inc.  

His description itself is just wrong...

Deception or not, not really a great find.

Rough crowd

I thought it was an interesting approach to ergonomic keyboarding.  Doesn't that alone make it worthy of "great find" status?  

I'm not of the Buckling-Spring clan, but is that why there are so many haters?  You guys don't appreciate IBM in the title?

It's not IBM, it's not Clicky.  Yet he puts both in the title.  With the way eBay policy works it will probably get pulled down because you're not supposed to deliberately mislead people like that.

You IRC channel dudes are trolling harder than anybody.
