Got it and shipping is much cheaper, not by much, but still better. Will definitely have a go at this once keyboard funds gets refreshed which is next year.

This one is interesting since it is described as "clicky" but it's made by Key Tronic.

Average eBay descriptions are often pretty worthless, we have yet to find the elusive tactile KeyTronic F&F also.

Definitely. Many sellers describe a keyboard as clicky if it makes a sound when the keys are pressed, lol. The descriptions are often not to be trusted.

I have two and two Kaypro 2000s to go with them. Still haven't found a power supply for the Kaypro 2000s but they look nice
I would have been all over this if I needed on to match up with it's computer base.

Somebody mentioned Key Tronic ...

yeah, F&F ... I still like the caps, though

KT made excellent caps. Even their crappest F&F boards generally came with nice doubleshots. Their injection moudling appears to have been of
really high quality, too, the lettering is micron-sharp.

I'd say that's easily the best looking 122 I've ever seen.

A few even look black-and-blue tripleshot Oo . Love the body function numpad though, this puts the "urine" keyboard to shame xD .

You do know, that if you actually placed the key-caps into a bucket of horse urine you can actually clean the old caps and even leach out the yellowness of the caps.
Was told that by some keyboard expert 14 years ago

The body-funtion num-pad only makes this more valuable! And that logo on the top right...

That's for the third eye of course! There is even an "Aura" key!

If this awesome 122 was on my side of the pond I'd buy it! But obviously my "aura" isn't good enough.

But it really is just good for adding your own Model M2 innards to it, as this should be a rubber dome-based Model M2. Just in case somebody doesn't know that.

Ahhh
I actually had seen this before, but could not find it again. Ebay search sucks ;(. I think this could be a sixties board ... as my oldest board now is April 1970, this is really tempting

KInd of the opposite of a great find, but interesting to me. TI Silent 745 with
Stackpole/HiTek Switches. I think I had a monologue about this being a possibility some time ago ...
