IBM TrackPoint II are IBM Model M keyboards with an integrated trackpoint. Although most of them are black, some beige exist. Black models use pad printing while the beige ones used dye-sublimated keycaps.
Part numbers[edit | edit source]
As there is only one model, the M13, this page will be listing the different part numbers.
1378192<ref name="Erase-Eaze"/>[edit | edit source]
This part number is specific to a keyboard made by Lexmark. It features a split spacebar. The right split spacebar is supposed to be backspace (I think needs to be verified).
13H6705[edit | edit source]
This unit is made both by Maxi Switch, and by Lexmark and uses a black case.

This keyboard seems to be a quite "normal" M13. It was made by Lexmark. It features a Beige colour scheme, that does mean that the keycaps legends are made by dye-sublimation.
