	Designed when "real" typing on a quality keyboard was a required skill to use a $5000 IBM personal computer. (pre-dates the then new mouse-click and graphical user interface operating system later to be known as Microsoft Windows 3.1 and 95)
condition	These 1994 keyboards were recently found in 2009.  Keyboards were found to be in excellent, unused condition in the original styofoam packaging.  Many keyboards are still taped to white styrofoam packaging (with 15 year old tape).  While corners of the styrofoam packaging have been broken from storage for 15 years, these keyboards appear to be excellent units. It would be unfair to call these units as used or refurbished items as they are very clean on exterior and interior surfaces and show zero physical signs of previous use.  No additional cleaning was necessary.  All items were carefully tested and re-tested. (however, since they are not in their original IBM cardboard boxes, we would neither claim nor sell them as "brand new, never been used) and we are selling at discounted rate.
comments	Keyboard in 100% perfect condition.
comments	Very nice addition for those who appreciate a true mechanical buckling spring keyboard in perfect, nearly new condition.
