Well i won and for a lot less than i thought i would do.
Really excited about this, wanted one for ages.

will have a review up for it soon, then i will be posting it on to Fossala for him to have a go on. Will be interesting to see if our opinions on it differ.

Grats RougeRambo! That's an awesome find.

Yes! Great price!

thanks guys!
Really happy with the price i got it for. Me n fossala were speculating it would go for $700-$1000 and id half given up hope.

Awesome board, congrats!

You know you're a keyboard addict when you pay $405 for an old keyboard and think: great price!

I prefer to think of myself as an input device connoisseur, id regard you as the same haha!

I like the ring of that, would look good on a business card.

very good price! it helps that there wasn't another person to bid it up for you. congrats.

Congrats!

Congrats. I wondered if you won this, it was the first thing I checked when I got on the PC this morning.

Great price!; Congrats!

Looking forward for photos. Congrats

Didn't know that, it's cool but really overpriced for my budget :p

Waiting to hear more about it.

ty all, haha its nice that you're excited fossala!
hopefully it will arrive before christmas and i can put it under the tree

I doubt it will do. Things from USA using the same shipping is taking around 3 weeks at the moment. That is including customs time.

:'( ive asked him to send it tracked with proof of postage, so at least i should know its where abouts.

I think a couple of things worked in your favor with this one. Firstly, everyone is currently skint from xmas. Second, there were two on ebay at the same time (the other was arguable better condition wasn't it?)

yeah it was supposedly in better nick, but had a very high starting bid and didnt sell in the end. also im a stingy bastard so dont spend much at Christmas . i dont like feeling obliged to give gifts. If i see something someone would love i will get it for them, if not i will just do cards.

but yeah i got lucky

Can make a big difference in feel, but if it's overused you can replace the switches with new ones from Unicomp.

What is wrong with buying expensive things? Pay your bills, make sure your family has everything they need. Have savings. Buy nice things for yourself. What is the point of working if you don't?

thats because for me this buy is about a full month's salary, as a poor student i had to argue with myself to buy this
used 7G and buy MXblues and risk the modification. :F

When I was a poor student, we had to eat cooked bark, and we cried ourselves to sleep over dirty, filthy rubber dome keyboards, dreaming of a day we could buy a simple Ducky keyboard.
