He says it's clicky but I didnt know many things made in the late nineties to be BS clicky from IBM.

I don't think this is. There was someone else in this forum, forget who, that bought one and turned out to be rubberdome. He was also upset because he couldn't get a refund.

[tjcaustin]

Yeah, same seller and all.  It's a rubber dome thing that "clicks"

[Capitalistix]

Aww sneaky sneaky Mr. eBay seller! Thanks guys =]

[Capitalistix]

Any good suggestions as to a mechanical tenkeypad?

[WhiteFireDragon]

That ebay seller is a *****. He knows full well by now about the "clicky" deception, but continues to list it as that. If you buy the item and dispute it afterwards, you'll lose because ebay will rule "clicky" as a subjective matter. It happened to the last guy.

I think there was a Buckling Spring one that came with the M15, but they're... expensive.

Your bestbet is probably to get a kinesis or goldtouch one from eBay. They use Cherry MX Keyswitches.

Obviously someone likes ergonomic keyboards

I suggest the cm storm line. If you want a plainer looking board go with Ducky!

I mis-read. Yes those are good keypads

Goldtouch numpads with MX browns come up frequently on ebay for $20-$30.

Sometimes goldtouch are even cheaper. They usually have browns, but sometimes blacks. But for such a low price maybe you won't be too picky.
