Extremely rare variant of IBM model M keyboard.  Keyboard mechanism is buckling spring NON-CLICKY with sound-dampening grease injected within each of the 101 individual buckling spring mechanisms.

Precison, progressive-spring, tactile feel but without click sound of normal buckling spring.

cable removable, coiled cable, ps/2 connector  (standard length) 
key caps two-piece removable (key cap + key stem)
key switches clicky = buckling spring
comments Very rare keyboard.  We have only collected and sold a total of only 6 other soft-touch buckling spring keyboards among the 4000+ keyboards that we have sold since we have been in business.
comments Keyboard has built-in internal speaker (not controllable or accessible by Windows operating system, probably a special feature used for system beeps associated with the original IBM computer that this keyboard was bundled with).
