UPDATE: Already taken

It works, but it's missing a few keys.
I'll send it to anyone interested in restoring it and giving it a good home.

I'm in. Gotta buy some new M keys anyway. May as well add a few more to the order.

You will need the lower-profile keys for the M2 though. The regular-sized Model F/M keys are too high.

Too high as in "will not physically operate the keyboard" or too high as in "I don't like them that tall?"

Because SA's are fine. :lol:
