For that price I can provide you with 3 PS/2 German G80-1800s
with barely yellowed "hellgrau" cases without logo (meaning they never had one).

And as I got them for 2€ each and the seller brought them to me,
I'll still make a profit :lol:

Ok, tomorrow morning I'm going to jump on the 5E one. I'm going to ask one of my German speaking colleagues to help me. Shipping to Romania would be around 15Euro and i think that a total of 20 Eur for a G80-1800 is ok

Haha ! Actually, I'm saying that I want three, but I wouldn't have anything to do with even one. Just harvest the cheap switches, maybe...

Shipping should be a bit cheaper than that! And if not, you should just get 3-4 to justify the shipping price. :mrgreen:

Avid Apple Keyboard... It looks similar to the Apple keyboards with alps but probably it's just a rubberdome, can you confirm?

That link goes to a closed auction, over 90 days old?

For reasons unknown it doesn't appear on ebay.com,
but it is a valid Italian listing:

Anyone here interested in a Northgate Omnikey group buy? Let me know soon as I can organize it! Or maybe someone else will win these. I can gladly proxy these internationally if you are willing to pay for international shipping :-D

I'd be interested in one maybe, depending on price....

My snipe on the FK2001 failed so I'm still (kind of) in the market for something similar.

edit - it'd have to be one with the split right shift which I think most of those have.

that ultra t ( one at the top) is nice :). Thats the one to have as its the most normal layout. I never did get the programming of the secondary function keys working.

One good thing about the ominkey is its repeat rate is INSANE! and i do mean INSANE!

The pcbs / plate does move a bit as its not supported in the middle, but thats easy fixed with a bit of plastic / wood to wedge it in.

The caps are doubleshot and loverly. with Green red and blue legends on the mods and ESC

EDIT

( ahh second link 2 ultra Ts nice :))

The northgate does have a bit of a following outside the vernal keyboard geek world :), they even have there own phosperglow however his website skills are err 90s :P http://www.northgate-keyboard-repair.com

Yeah. I really don't want to buy more boards while I have so many to get rid of, but these - particularly in lots - don't come up often. Make it worth my while and I'll see what I can do. These have enough of a following that I can't imagine they'll go for the starting price. I'm guessing there will be like 10 snipes.

Note that in the second group, the one on the bottom looks to be a gold label, which should have blue alps.

For those of you tempted by this G80-3000 HQMGB,
note that it is in fact a G80-3000 LSCGB (so lasered instead of doubleshot caps).
I asked the seller which was right, the description or the photo. His answer:
[…] sorry for confusion the picture is correct... it is of the actual keyboard

Yeah, I posted about that when the listing came up and messaged the seller. He said he was trying to change the listing but the last time I checked it hadn't changed.

2x Clicky keyboards (should be hybrid mechanical, with Alps keycaps, from the documentation I found):

£70 isn't bad for all that to be fair...

If its the postage that kills it for you, I can pick it up and send you just the board if you want.

I'm more worried about shine.. I'm going to contact the seller and ask for some more details.

They have a UK ISO one too.
