Was looking at this keyboard on ebay
http://tinyurl.com/dy7s66u
Noticed the sticker on the back says "Manufactored for IBM by Lexmark". This a true clicky IBM Model M? Also it was manufactured in June of 1995 and says "Model M2". What is the difference between Model M and Model M 2?
IBM made a lot of them under different labels
but be careful its not a rubberdome as some of the dells are
although i would advise against getting a model M to begin with as the NMB space invader keyboards are better if you like the model M style and clicky keyboards and mx browns are a good choice otherwise
Can you please go into more detail as to why the NMB space invader keyboards are better?
feel, responsiveness and sound
mostly feel though as they break very cleanly

see this for example
Which one did Logan review last year?
Never used a model M2 before but I managed to bid snipe a Model M from ebay for ~$10. Best money I ever spent. Though I have to say I prefer MX Blue switches a lot better bucking spring, don't get me wrong it does feel great to type on but the 70g breakpoint on the keys is a little heavy for my long fingered spindley bitch hands.
"spindley bitch hands" lol. Anyway does enyone know what the differences between an IBM Model m and an IBM Model M2 are? Or are they only different in appearance?
