Great/Interesting Finds

[Blaise170]

found this : https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=73033.0 . it was the same seller and it seems he accepted a 50$ offer. If anyone from US wants the switches / case / etc for 20$, I'm willing to shell out 30$+shipping for the caps.

offtopic : my googling got me to this website : http://telcontar.net/KBK/Keycombo/keyboards.php with some info about different keyboards. haven't seen this one before.

edit : it's a perfect fit for my dream layout.

Spoiler:

I'll take you up on that offer.

[gogusrl]

awesome, can you ask for a better pic of the caps first ? the one posted isn't helping much

[seebart]

Thats Daniel Beardsmore.

Good, he should come back.

Maybe you're able to persuade him, now that there are other people working on the wiki and you being one of them.

Well I should try at least once, that's true.

Sellers description says white alps. Not seen a layout like that before either, it's a strange one for sure.

+1 for the possibility of me being blind.

I'm going to close my eyes and wish real hard for a vintage MX white board to pop up.

I doubt he'll ever come back :/ . I've spoken to him recently. He's a very nice chap, but to say he's bitter with DT at the moment would be an understatement Oo .

Cherry MX Brown, PCB mount, lasered POM key caps, ANSI layout. May have some white paint splatter. May have some relegendable keys missing their clear covers.

Ships in original Cherry box with Cherry software CD and manual. A steal for $10. I paid more for shipping than I did for the board!

[HzFaq]

Model M for reasonable...could probably do with a clean though .

Pretty nice AEKII as well

Interesting because of the center stemmed (!) og cherry capslock key.

Something similar has been on Ebay UK before.

Wow! That board looks fantastic! You have to love the wood paneling. So classic.

...But those caps. Those caps are just lovely!

I just noticed the space bar is actually marked. Haha, well. That's the first time I've seen that actually!

I believe that our own guk owns something quite similair.

[ohaimark]

These should have MX Blacks. They're red-backlit. They're USB. They're $15 + shipping. Need I say more?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Data911-RoboVu- ... 1456360858?

Edit: this one is more expensive and doesn't have a touchpad... I think it has blacks.

Ambra Model M:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ambra-label-IBM ... Swo6lWI9xA

It's just a Lexmark Model M, but a bit unusual, as it has been rebranded as an "Ambra".

[chzel]

Aren't the Ambras supposed to have white keys? Or am I half asleep?

[Hypersphere]

I think that might pertain to the European ISO version. Looks like the ANSI version has the ivory/beige color scheme.

[Mikelittoris]

Thats interesting about the ambra. Posted a few year(or months)s ago a NIB Swedish ambra with computer, not really in to those macish fonts or else I would have really wanted the keyboard at the time but for now my F122 will do . Good luck everyonelse.

Edit: This keyboard does not have the macish fonts I was suggesting . (Does not mean that im interested even though my F122 seem to be failing at handling simple commands like shift + * "key next to enter" on ISO. Please heöp hahaha..)

alps ?

[E3E]

Any idea what switches this strange little guy has?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Computer-Keyboa ... 1839065665

White or blue Alps.

I just realized that the following must definitely be a rebrand of the aforementioned keyboard (Chicony KB-5170).

Having a blue alps board in this layout would be so neat! Super mega bonus points for natively containing blue alps and not requiring a switch swap.

I've seen this video before when I had just begun my search for blue Alps many months ago, but I had forgotten about it until now. Stumbled upon it, then had a "heeey, that looks pretty familiar" moment.

Note that that is a slightly different model so blue Alps aren't guaranteed, but it might definitely be worth a shot .

@E3Eves: According to the description, the PC-III board you were asking about has white Alps switches.

That's a pretty good price for an SGI, this one in Holland is slighty more expensive with free shipping within the EU:

Thanks Hypersphere. I had originally missed that, but I figured that out before that last post. Just thought I'd share a blue alps example. A little off topic, I know.
