Maybe, very similar keyboard here: http://sandy55.fc2web.com/keyboard/y1700.html
And here: http://deskthority.net/ebay-com-f67/nic ... t1613.html
If you use the CSI zoom , you could look at this photo and find out, what kind of switch it has: http://deskthority.net/resources/image/9764

First one is most likely old stock from Cumb.de, address in Berlin and bad German in the description, company logo scratched out. The same seller was also on Amazon a few weeks ago where I got a black G80-1800 for a good price. The starting price (2€ each) is what they were selling them for on Cumb.de when I got my first keyboard from them in 2011.

NIB, apparently. And quite a looker!

These Datalux boards can have either MEI switches or Cherry ML. The MEI ones are really crap.
Same thread, a few pages earlier:

[andrewjoy]

Oo cherry ML i like them ! I wish they made laptops with ML

The caps look too big for ML

[Muirium]

Yeah, it looks just like Kurk's own one: with MEH, sorry, MEI switches.


http://deskthority.net/photos-f62/datal ... t3974.html

Are they as bad as Cherry MY though? I kind of like the wide aspect caps…

[andrewjoy]

Ooo MX compatible caps may be worth it for them alone, i know the letters are a bit wide but there are some nice offsize caps there that may be useful, that right shift looks about the right size of a minila spacebar
Not sure on the switch.

Anyone interested in a group buy for those five IBM F? The seller offered me them for 150, 30 a piece is a good deal.

Anyone interested in a group buy for those five IBM F? The seller offered me them for 150, 30 a piece is a good deal.

Do you know if the 122 is an F? If so, I'd definitely take it for 30eur

The problem is the 2 bigfoots which, afaik, can't be converted. Also, any idea what type of board the one next to the XT is? It's larger than the XT and has a different connector. I wonder if it can be converted..

[andrewjoy]

the 2 bigfoots would be a good source of spare parts and caps

[seebart]

Yeah but that's slightly unfair for the person buying that. But a bigfoot can be used with a new controller right?

[Muirium]

You're talking about these, right?

http://deskthority.net/other-external-f ... ml#p179280

Halvar says the bottom of the 122 shows it to be a Model M, so that's the best one knocked down. The others should all be Fs, though. Bigfoots can run via USB thanks to a cunning hack that Soarer's recently came up with by the way. The ones with the blue switches are quite neat, and I remember seeing some on Xwhatsit's capsense controller thread. Think they need his $50 magic.

[seebart]

Yup I knew there was some progress with the bigfoot. It's still not a bad deal people! But we would have to "adjust" the prices since these five do have equal value!
And yes I am taking about those [emoji16]

[andrewjoy]

the 122 key is an m . that's a bit of a downer . i would be interested in the XT

[Nuum]

I might be interested in the 122 ky Model M, depending on whether I get my Model AT to work.

[Muirium]

I've got one, cleaned and bolt modded, if you're interested. I didn't get around to ordering shorter bolts so the case fits on comfortably, but it's almost there!

[Nuum]

Me? Thanks, but I'm just after the German keycaps for my AT, if I get it working. So I don't need a bolt modded Model M.

[Muirium]

That's the problem with them right there! Something that large you really want to be Model F.

[Fuinseog]

Already popped up on reddit mechanical keyboards...but I'm sure you will appreciate it...

Hope someone saves this poor board....

[Nuum]

I don't know if the "engraving" is funny or sad.

[seebart]

Jeez someone won a das with blank keys, changed their mind and got really creative...

That IBM auction is over in 27 minutes BUT I somehow have a feeling no one will be buying those for € 220...after which I will send him a friendly ebay message with another offer...

[raatmarien]

I might be interested in one of those IBM keyboards.

[seebart]

...is just talked to the seller, he is willing to go for € 125,00 for all five.

So again; anyone here seriousy interested in group buying one or more of those IBM keyboards?

I allready have an F XT. I would be inerested in one of the IBM 3178 Keyboards or the 5291.

This is what he´s offering:

1x IBM Model F XT
2x IBM Model F 3104
1x IBM Model F 5291
1x IBM Model M 6110344

€ 25,00 Euros a keyboard my friends! Condition of these babies is unkown! I´m supposed to get back to the seller soon.

Actually I think it´s the IBM 3104 Keyboard, not the IBM 3178 Keyboard he´s got two of.

Drop me a PM if your interested.

[Muirium]

Hmm…

Spoiler:

Make the 122 key Model M a free bonus for whoever pays the extra shipping, because no way is it the equal of the Fs.

[photekq]

Hold on.. Is the 'Model M' definitely a 6110344? That's not an M, man! And if it's 25eur I'll take it!

[Muirium]

Halvar's seen its backside!

5 IBM keyboards
http://www.ebay.de/itm/Funf-gebrauchte- ... 1399159779

I asked the seller, and he sent me a picture of the bottom sticker of the 122 keyboard. I would draw the ire of the gods of copyright on me if I posted it, but it shows that it's a model 1389278, made on 1989-08-11. The typical Model M sticker on a beige plastic surface.

[Halvar]

Where does the information that it's a 6110344 come from?

This is what I got from the seller:

Hallo ninde59,

ist das 122-Tasten-Modell links im Bild (das Schlachtschiff mit den 24 F-Tasten über dem Tastenfeld) ein Model F, oder ist das ein Model M? Oder andes gefragt, ist die Rückseite aus Metall oder aus Kunststoff?

Viele Grüße,
