My understanding is the M100 keyboard was considered a little asocial since it was noisy. Wasn't really usable in meetings. One "fix" was to modify the keyboard with orthodontic rubber bands to deaden the sound. I think the 102 / 200 keyboards were changed to address the noise issue. Personally

I find the keyboards on my 100s to be superior to the 102. The 200 keyboard is the best of the line though - IMO. The more modern parts in the 102 *might* make it more durable, but mostly the difference today is that the 102 doesn't seem to suffer from the terrible capacitor leakage of the 100. Ove
