Cherry DS ANSI keys (first Round3 sets available)

[Ascaii]

Original post:

Spoiler:

I have an opportunity to grab a large number of Cherry OEM boards g81s with ANSI Doubleshots. The interesting thing is these keys actually have MX-compatible stems, so modifiers should fit a lot more boards then "regular" g81 doubleshots. (These fit on my g80-1000 and g80-3000 except for the ansi specific keys ofc, im an ISO type of guy) Key layout matches the g80-1000 winkeyless. Basic thing I need to know is approx how many I should get to pass on to you folks. Pricing will be 25€ + shipping per set of keys, with reductions for several sets. Shipping from Berlin, Germany should possible worldwide, pricing would depend on the number of sets of course. I think I could ship a single set worldwide for ~5€.

Pics of the sample set I have here attached.

Update:

I am putting the first 62 sets up for orders. I dont have the space to go through all of the boards, so I will be selling them in chunks of 50-60. Please make sure you read everything!
I will take no orders via PM. Post in here. First come, first serve. The caps are not pulled yet and I won't take any money before they are ready to ship. Once the first 62 are gone I will get the next bunch ready.

Conditions and pricing explained:

I have decided on the folllowing grading and pricing (lowest to highest)

TP - Sets from boards with trackpoint. G,H,B keys are formed to allow use of a trackpoint. Condition can be anywhere from used to NIB, I am not splitting up these caps by quality...too much work. Sets distributed as they come, so no selection.
PRICE: 25€ per set

U - USED caps. can be dirty, shiny, etc. Easy to clean with included tabs.
PRICE: 35€ per set

LU - Lightly used. Better quality then U caps. Texture intact. Can be a bit dirty.
PRICE: Not available atm. 60€

N - new. These rare caps are untouched and clean as can be.
PRICE: 110€ per set

Shipping remains at 5€ as uninsured letter.



LIMITS:

TP - no limit
U - 5 per person
LU + N - 1 per person

BIG NEWS

Announcing round 3!

This one will have to run a bit differently due to uni starting and my schedule being full most of the time.
I have received ALL remaining boards from my source. Meaning, this is your ***LAST*** chance to get a set of these babies.

There is no waiting list yet so dont post hoping to reserve a set. This will happen once I've tallied the conditions of the boards.

Once I have some time I will start sorting the boards by condition (used, lightly used, new, trackpoint) and putting them up for sale as I manage to pull them. I doubt I can do another pulling marathon like gb2 in the next weeks, so it will be a bit slower.

I will post the caps for sale once I am ready with the first sets.

PREORDERS CLOSED
There will most likely be leftover sets from cancelled orders, I will take care of that once I actually have the sets.
Currently working on finding a cheap courier service to ship me an entire pallet of boards. A word of warning: The final price might RISE by a few euro depending on my shipping costs.

thanks for these two pics xbb, his was the first sample I got from my source.
caps after cleaning.

[Half-Saint]

That's a lot of keycaps!!!!111one

[Ascaii]

Also need to figure out where to dispose the g81 shells.

[Half-Saint]

The recycling plant? You're probably right but still.. these are double-shots

[7bit]

Also need to figure out where to dispose the g81 shells.

Are these from the 104 digital-monitors/Cherry keyboards sale?

Are these G80/G81-1000 style shells?

no and no. They are from an OEM board with the sayme layout as the g80-1000 winkeyless

Do you've got a photograph of a shell?

[Peter]

Are we talking that you have the chance to grab more than 100 of these ??

[yench]

Sounds good. I don't like the lasered keycaps on my new Leopold at all.

[Ascaii]

I would have never thought i'd say this, but maybe ripster is right about the OCN mod team. I posted an identical thread in the keyboard section and an hour later it was closed... XD

[xbb]

why?

[Ascaii]

Please keep all sales in the market place.

Compare this to their marketplace rules:

3. This section may be used only for computer systems, components, software, and related items. "Tech toys" such as mp3 players are also permissible. Any For Sale / Wanted threads for items not listed above will be deleted, and services such as volt modding may not be offered. If you have any questions about the permissibility of your item, please PM The Duke or a Senior Moderator assigned to the Marketplace.. Sellers must have the item(s) in hand prior to posting them for sale here.
NO "ES" or Engineering Samples are allowed in the Marketplace "For Sale" or "Wanted" sections with out valid written proof of ownership and the allowance to resell.

So asking about peoples interest in a group buy is a sales thread...hmmmmmm

I wrote the mod after he closed the thread pointing this out and the fact that I specifically said it WASNT a sales thread, but a group buy opportunity in my post...oh well, I guess more doubleshots for GH + DT

[xbb]

good

[nathanscribe]

Sounds more like OCD...

[calavera]

Are these brand new?

[Ascaii]

Are these brand new?

I think anything from brand new to well used can be expected. I will see what I get^^.

[calavera]

Sounds good. If there's a brand new set put me down for one.

[Lpb]

Would definatley pickup a set if you can ship to the US

[Gilgam]

i'm in for one

[StinkyTofu]

I'd be interested in one set...

[Taeyoung]

I'm in for 2sets.

[chongyixiong]

1 set for me please!

[Taeyoung]

2 more sets please.

[snerual]

Interested in 1 set. Brand new preferred.

[Huntor0]

Any chance they are compatable with Filco if so i would be interested in 1-2 sets.

[Taeyoung]

Most of buttons are compatible with Filco except for 'Caps Lock' and spacebar.
If you want to use those incompatible buttons on Filco, you should add an additional stem to the buttons as below.

- Spacebar: http://www.kbdmania.net/xe/?document_srl=2442726

[Ascaii]

thanks taeyoung!

[prava]

How could I miss this? I'm VERY interested if they would fit on a Noppoo Choc Mini or on a KBC Poker X. Going to try to find out and see what I can get...

mmm it seems Noppoo are compatible with Cherry keycaps...does that mean that ANY cherry key will do?

Alpha keys will definitely fit. Some modifiers/space bar might not

[ripster]

I think my Caps Lock instructions are better.
