An IBM Model M made by Lexmark 52G9658. Seller’s picture. It was actually pretty dirty and a lot of the key caps were dirty.

Kinja'd!!!

After using an air compressor to blow away the dust and removing + cleaning each individual keycap, it came out looking pristine!

Kinja'd!!!

Apparently 52G9658 keyboards were identical to 1391401 (the most common Model M) except they were made by Lexmark, had a blue label, and a non-removable PS/2 cord.

Kinja'd!!!

Also got these two PS/2 mice. Moreso for old stuff.

Kinja'd!!!

all cleaned up as well!

We had one of these in the late 90s/early 2000s. I think this is what made me get used to bigger ergonomical mice.

Logitech MouseMan Plus PS/2 mouse

Kinja'd!!!

Has rubberized sides and a thumb button.

You need a proper PS/2 mouse to go with that Model M.

The 90s idea of an ergonomic mouse was strange. I never understood why they used to curve to the right like that.

We had a Lexmark-branded Model M way back when. It probably was thrown away - stupid, stupid. It would be so choice now.
