IBM 1391401 PS2 Wired Keyboard Working Free Shipping!  (eBay)

2nd-gen (gray logo), otherwise in pretty nice shape. It's the cheapest I've seen lately for a Model M that's not seriously messed up. Hope nobody buys it before I can post this...

Somebody already bought it, lol.

But it looked to be a bit of a frankenstein as some of the key stems where different colors.  Project board for someone that went wrong?

Good deal!

Stems were often random light/dark in my experience.
"The old Republican Party was a stool with three legs: social conservatism, economic conservatism and national security conservatism.
So too is the MAGA Republican Party. One of those legs is the nativist extremism of Stephen Miller. The second is the anti-government extremism of Russell Vought.
And the last is the open, flamboyant corruption of Donald Trump — a corruption that degrades a people’s faith in government and makes it all the easier to remake the state in the image of a single man.

Interesting.  I'll have to check that when I give all my Ms a good cleaning.
