i've been using model M2s (1395300) exclusively for over the past
decade. each one usually lasts 3-6 years, & i'm getting near
needing another. unfortunately clickykeyboards.com doesn't have
one in stock, & judging by their prices, i can do MUCH better. the
last one i purchased was $25, & that was the most i've ever paid
for one. ($6 was the least in 1997.)
You have got to be kidding me!! They actually charge this much for
these things!! I have a buddy that has 2 HUGE boxes full of
keyboards from yesteryear. He may just have a goldmine in his attic
and not even know it.
Yeah, but for $40 they take the thing apart and clean it before they
sell it to you. That might just be worth every penny, given how
disgusting those things get. I hope the guy who cleans them gets
extra danger pay for the biohazard he's exposed to. ;)
