Industrial SSK on GH

https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=56924.0

Muirium · 18 Sep 2015, 23:27

Less than a grand, because there's something wrong with the caps…

snoopy · 18 Sep 2015, 23:39

Text says that all original keycaps are included.

I would be tempted, but I think I have already too many keyboards.

Muirium · 18 Sep 2015, 23:41

Yes, I was just kidding. Looks like a nice board, with extras, at an almost not raving lunatic price. But still way too much for me to consider for any keyboard.

hammelgammler · 18 Sep 2015, 23:53

Yeah that's a very nice case! However, it bothers me that it's only the case color that makes it special...

In comparison with a Kishsaver, which is the only keyboard that have a 60% layout Model F in a full metal case, you can get that for about the same price. And there you have real advantages, not only the case color.

But I think some people just like the fact that it's so rare, and a really beautiful keyboard. I prefer it to the normal SSK, but not if the price difference is over $600.

Oh yeah, and I freaking need an Unsaver... The F122 is just so nice, but I can't stand full size anymore.

Muirium · 19 Sep 2015, 00:13

Yup. The SSK is stylish and a classic, especially in the dark industrial trim, but the Kishsaver's something else. They're quite different to use.

I don't know what to think about this one. Any thoughts? I'm not actively looking for an Industrial M, I just happened to come across it. Would you call it a bargain?

gogusrl · 20 Sep 2015, 09:29

I would

Muirium · 20 Sep 2015, 13:30

Yeah, industrials make people go crazy. A fullsize is worth around 100 Euros. An SSK, much much more! The bids will climb on that one.

Double that figure and we're closer to what they usually net.

I really like those bottom row caps and the enter but i dont need another 9. Hopefully they don't sell as a lot.

This might be the cheaper option if you're interesteded in the keyboard only

Compgeke · 20 Sep 2015, 21:44

Not often any keyboards show up on the VCF but here's a $50 FK8000 if anyone's been wanting one.

Those are awful, terribad, they're on par with Cherry MY. Think they're called Ya Sheng buckling springs.

Wow if that Apple keyboard was $100 cheaper I'd buy it.

Muirium · 22 Sep 2015, 01:23

Black? Nice! The IBM industrial of the vintage Apple world.

It's from the Macintosh TV. Anyone ever see a 20th Anniversary Macintosh keyboard for sale? That machine's a rarity, and a futuristic oddball…

$53 shipped for a TKL with Gaote/Outemu switches.

Good price. The white case looks very well.

HzFaq · 22 Sep 2015, 10:07

M0487's aren't great, I have one with Mitsumi buckling cup switches which are interesting but I wouldn't want to use them for any length of time...

gogusrl · 22 Sep 2015, 14:40

Not sure if this is the best spot, but I just got a message from Hasu offering me a rev. B 60% Alps PCB. I'm out of money right now so I wanted to pass on it but I thought maybe one of you wants it.

I have a left over but it has cosmetic problem like this. http://i.imgur.com/7o7HvLc.jpg
The PCB costs $40 in total, including shipping and paypal fee. Shipping is uniform to anywhere on the globe.

Muirium · 22 Sep 2015, 15:05

Tempting. If only I had a bag of complicated Alps.

hammelgammler · 22 Sep 2015, 15:29

I think I want to take it if that's okay.

I really don't mind any cosmetic failures, as I won't see the PCB.
I have enough Alps in a few months.

Edit: Oh well, where can I get a HHKB style plate for the build? I only know a Japanese keyboard that has the right layout.
Maybe modding a plate? Any suggestions?
