I'm looking for cheap, non-functioning, even trashed Topre or Niz keyboards to harvest switch parts: housings, sliders, domes, and springs. Vintage boards are fine, I just need parts. HHKB Pros are good too, but while they can be non-functioning, they need to be in decent condition (aka not trashed) since the housings are part of the plate. Just switches parts (as before) are fine too, and I can consider buying all the parts except the sliders since I was planning to use MX-styled ones anyway, what's important is that I can get ~70 working switches in the end.
I don't need keycaps nor the rest of the keyboard, I plan to build a custom EC keyboard and I'm on a very low budget (context: getting a new job, need a silent keyboard since my quiet one is dead).
I can't spend more than €70 including shipping to Italy, which I understand that is quite tight, but my standards are quite low too.
Also posted on r/MechMarket.
EDIT: bought one somewhere else

I've always found sendicos shipping rates to be significantly cheaper than buyees.

I checked both, and oddly enough Buyee was a tiny bit cheaper haha, but we're talking about keyboards that weight over 1kg, that's why it's expensive. Thanks for the Discord, I'll check there!wobbled wrote: ↑20 Feb 2023, 20:02I've always found sendicos shipping rates to be significantly cheaper than buyees.
