It's going for more than I want to pay for it. So, I share it here.
You bastard!! LOL

Well, of all the sellers to benefit from Alps inflation, I think we could do worse than Goodwill. I patronize my local Goodwill affiliate often, I've gotten some great items from them!

Blaise170 · 08 Dec 2015, 23:50

It's already been posted anyways.

If it wasn't GoodWill, you could call them greedy. The San Francisco, CA GoodWill that hosts these auctions knows their shit. They always leave the boards that have blue Alps as auctions.

I was lucky the Goodwill in Maine that sold the AT101 I nabbed did so at a very low BIN price compared to what everyone else was selling their old logos for.

Woah, that Commodore, though! In conversation with a friend about keyboards, they did mention an MX-mount Commodore keyboard in Cherry profile with beige keys. This seems suspicious enough that it might be the same kind!

What are the little symbols side printed to the keys? I noticed that some of the SA Retro keyset had the same markings, and that was inspired by the Commodore as well.

EDIT: PETSCII! Thank you, brain for remembering an obscure comment on reddit.

Ascaii had one of those, "mystery cherry mx keyboard with blue/white doubleshots".

Not Cherry this one.

Broken Model M15. Interesting sticker on one of the plates, showing some of Lexmark's manufacturing terminology.

Wow, if that shipped to the US I'd be bidding on that.

Neither...some sort of odd slider over membrane over pcb

Totally fixable. I guarantee I could repair it. If it doesn't go for too much I may bid on it to bring it back to life, unless someone else wants a chance at it. I've got tons of Model M parts and some silver trace paste that are just what this board needs.

scottc · 09 Dec 2015, 16:54

I guarantee you couldn't replace that missing key unless you have a broken M2 sitting around!

Halvar · 09 Dec 2015, 17:01

Would you be surprised in any way if XMIT had one?

I've got several M2s in the house and Cindy seems to find them fairly often. I think she just found one yesterday in fact.

I'll put a snipe in on it and see what happens. Maybe I'll win it, maybe I won't. I've already given up on the blue Alps board I posted.

Ooh, this one is local! I've submitted an offer, maybe I can pick it up in person and save both of us some trouble.

tigpha · 09 Dec 2015, 20:46

I can't bid on any of these, for the sake of domestic harmony.

Apple Lisa II

Rockwell AIM-65

Kaypro 4/83

Might not have an interesting keyboard, but the Acorn A4 Notebook is a notable British computer, methinks. The ancestor of the vast majority of computers that happen to also be mobile phones today.

Slightly off the beaten path: HP97 calculator with printer and Math Pac1 and Games Pac1. My introduction to programming was with the HP67. An awesome pioneering calculator. A radical departure from what preceded

I've taken two of these apart and they aren't fun to work on.
