Why it is called Periboard 106 "M"

If you pay attention on Perixx's products, it is not difficult to spot that the letter(s) following the model name refers to its colour. For example, Periboard-612W the "W" means white, Periboard-713PK the "PK" means pink.

Then, what does the "M" mean in Periboard-106M?

At the very beginning, I don't know either. Therefore, I went to ask my big boss, Jonah, the founder of Perixx. And he threw me back to 1980s.

"Do you know Model-M?"

Obviously, I don't. I shook my head.

"Then, you search IBM and Model-M."

OOOOh, now I get it. I nodded my head.
