NIB Model M industrial w/ Trackpoint
« on: Thu, 02 April 2009, 10:09:38 »
It's the first time I see an industrial M13. I've only seen them in all-black or standard gray-white combinations.

Bids start at US$ 99.00 for those interested. http://search.ebay.com/160325580512

Thanks for the link... I've never seen one either.

If it's as rare as it seems to be, it should bring a good price.

I really like the gray body with white keys it looks good :) I was thinking I might try to get that board but now that webwit as decided to give it a shot I might as well forget it. I can't be an insane bidder right now :(

The seller says he "will ship in original packaging".

I would hope that he will put the original box with keyboard into another box.  I wouldn't want the original box all covered with shipping labels and possibly beaten up during the shipping process.

I've only seen them on clickykeyboards.

True, I had never noticed them before.

The two industrial M13 on clickykeyboards were later models made by Unicomp. It might be worth asking the seller a picture of the label, if it's an Unicomp it probably won't feature the (much better) original IBM trackpoint.

Yes, it appears to be a Unicomp manufactured board, or at least the part number matches the one shown on Clickykeyboards.  Viewing the back label would definitely be a good idea.

Now that's very interesting. Maxiswitch, holders of the M15 patents. Got any pictures? And how's the quality? And if you want to sell or trade one, PM me :D

Here are some pics of one of mine...I think my camera is broken, there are some lines in the pics the camera has decided to insert.  Quality is as good as any maxiswitch I have seen.  They have the classic M13 feel, which is slightly different/more hollow to the normal Ms.
