Some additional ones from BON of interest -

M5-1 $80... which isn't bad given how rare the things are.

Cheap 42H in nice condition

1391402 French layout Model M for those who need such a thing. Particularly interesting is that it's an ISO keyboard made in the US...

someone bought it already ! I think it is the same one that had started at $200 with no luck, until now.

That's what I paid for a Lexmark one(my working one), but would not do for a Maxi-Switch model.  If there are no meaningful differences, so be it.  One good M13 is enough here, it'll only be bonus if the M13 on the way has repairable(and not show-stopping) defects.

As I understand it, it's the Lexmark ones that are inferior...Maxi Switch used the real trackpoint, Lexmark the less-good one.

Geekhack members have told me this...not sure if it's true or not.

I looked, but saw it was from that guy with the terrible customer support. And it was overpriced too.

Different type of "customer disservice", and only by scale.

I was too late for the M5-1 but I have a feeling these keyboards: the M5-1, the M5-2, and M13 just aren't designed for modern 1900x1200 screens.  This Unicomp M13 at full acceleration just isn't cutting it.

Get with the program, normal aspect monitors have fallen by the wayside. [/sarcasm]

You're thinking of Unicomp.

Well yeah, but what I was told (I think by you...) is that Lexmark introduced the crappy trackpoint that Unicomp still uses.

That would have happened in my M5-2 thread.

Edit: whoops, my mistake. There was no mention of Lexmark either way.

I think I would have remembered if I had said something completely wrong like that...

Yeah, I thought you would have too (which is why I went to investigate where I incorrectly remembered seeing it).

So, that being said, were Maxi Switch and Lexmark both using the same real TrackPoints?

Yep, I have both a Lexmark M4-1 and a Maxiswitch M13 and they both use the right one.
