Nice keycaps, but useless, as you said. Shame. :(

Sadly, it's G83, so not MX compatible (G83-3222SPZ). Also, seller don't want to sell the keyboard alone. :(

Anyone looking for spare Futaba switches? 3 USD for a pack of 20 isn't bad.

Futaba linears:

The ones I want are the MX compatible clicky Futabas:

I think the latter are pretty much what everyone means by "Futabas". I've got some of the old linears, they're nice but pretty useless as they're huge and MX incompatible.

This is only for the housing, nothing else, but could make for an interesting keyboard/enclosure. It's also the later C model...

Pretty sure those are rubber domes. I bought a buckling spring version from this seller a while back, but the Legends were in lighter and they were actually faded on some of the more used keys. Never seen that on dyesubs, but maybe it was just so used that the top surface plastic was actually worn away or something.

If it was just ANSI could they have been non IBM caps?

NIB, MXclear, ps2, diodes, accepted offer for 39.9
One of my favorites (besides switch)
Two stabilizers required proper reassembly, since they have been assembled the wrong way

Are the keycaps printed or ds? Anyway, nice that you got it, had it on my watchlist, wondering which switches it has. Thanks!

Does the Desko only come in ANSI or is the photo of the one on Ebay just a stock photo?

Not exactly a great find as its super expensive, but I've never seen a 1u Cherry shift key before. Also, center stem caps lock and odd sized bottom row mods, this is one strange ass HPU...

They are printed.
I had a search for Desko keyboard for the longest time, but wasn't sure if I wanted to pay that much.luckily he accepted my offer :)

Intriguing. Anyone ever get those working on USB? I imagine the RJ45 carries two PS/2 connections, one for the keyboard and one for the trackpoint. But imagine is the word…
