It's not worth ebay prices. Consider that at one point these were being thrown out dumpster by dumpster.

buy one so you have it but if youre a retard like me who spills his drinks alot then just use some cheap rubber dome all the time

It is the better keyboard. It has a crisper, ligher keyfeel aswell as better build quality. The downside is that it has an older layout and needs a converter for the XT models.

If you are hardcore like me then the model f is the better choice, else go with the model m as it is still better than 99% of modern keyboards today.

pretty sure that's the kind of stuff only worth it when you get it for free

what is the most i should spend on an XT version?

Based and squarepilled

I would say $100 USD for one in good/decent condition. They have increased quite a bit in price, since they regularly went for arount $50 a few years ago. If you get one and hold onto it for a while, you are unlikely to lose money.

Look for any rust on the metal barrel frame and backplate, as well as any snapped hinges and the number of cork feet left on the board (there should be 4).

Pull the trigger, it's the best keyboard you'll ever had aside from model F
Just don't use it in a work place
