NEW G80-1800HAMGB (UK ISO)

http://www.ebay.com/itm/CHERRY-KEYBOARD ... SwPc9WxwZW

Damn. Can't believe I missed that!

Someone posted it here apparently without really knowing what it is, and 10 minutes later everything was sold.
I would have bought all 5 without even taking the risk of making an offer and having to wait for an answer.
Well, at least 3 sold to DT members

Well I had a pretty good idea, I just had them undervalued a little. The gross layout (UK ISO, 1u bottom mods) might have affected my judgment. Nevertheless, I would have bought all five too without a second thought if I had the spare cash. Sigh.

Y'all let me know if you find a good deal on a proper (ANSI) 1800 k?

I have about £125 to survive 6 weeks at university. I will probably starve towards the end

I suggest you become intimately acquainted with tins of beans and plain white rice, photekq!

Aristotle MX clones?

Curious about this AT&T board. It doesn't look like the usual rubberdome fare that the brand embraced.

The FT15 (generally FTnn) code on the back tells you this is a foam and foil board.

Key Tronic specifically. Also number starting with E03 has Key Tronic written all over it.

Yeah, there's some SDFs to spread around before croaking.

Here is my great find: I nearly just exploded.

Like, this really makes up for my expectations getting pulled up by that local blue Alps Focus FK-2001 the other day.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Xerox-Docutech- ... true&rt=nc

I've been looking for this switch type for a while, and now... I hit the motherlode. It was just one of those late nights, felt like randomly perusing eBay and on my feed, I see something that I had to take a double take to ensure I wasn't going apeshit crazy. In like five seconds, I snapped it up and checked out with no hesitation. These are SO hard to find.



FOUR boards with Alps SKCM Green. That is tactile "neon" green (as Chryos puts it), not linear.

All for a holy shit price.

I am very satisfied.

[gogusrl]

Those sweet caps as well. grats on the find.

Thanks gogusrl! I think the caps are pretty striking too! Yeah, it's nice to have stumbled upon this so randomly. It was completely unexpected.

[gogusrl]

Now that we're finished exchanging pleasantries, how can I get my hands on one ?

[Madhias]

wow: http://www.ebay.de/itm/Vintage-SMT-Goup ... 1900520677

Those scratches on the case!

Are you selling any of them? I believe this to be the same keyboard/mouse as the Xerox 6085 Daybreak system (an early desk top publishing system) and I'd love to have a set. I almost bought a 6085 on Craigslist but the seller disappeared. I'll PM you.

@E3E: I'm unsure if I should start fixating on one of your boards yet, because you could be too far away!

Err WOT? I' not familair with neon green tactile Alps. I'd like some more info's (pictures) when you have time. Great find BTW those Xerox boards!

I have a loose switch, I showed it in my HHKB video. Haven't tried a board with them in yet. The feeling is quite unlike other Alps, the tactile bump is very soft and not sharp at all, and it's absolutely at the top of the key travel. Not unpleasant at all from what I could tell, a bit less harsh than other switches, but it's always different in an actual board of course .

I call these"neon green" Alps because many people aren't aware of them and accidentally refer to SKCL Green as SKCM Green (with all those SKCM switches it's easy to overlook or forget there's also SKCL switches). The colour of the sliders is impossible to capture on camera, it seems. If you look on wikipedia under shades of green, I'd say"malachite" comes closest, so it looks very different from SKCL green.

Very nice find for sure, I've been looking for these for a while .

BTW, there's another 4 listen on eBay now, although they are bizarrely expensive:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/XEROX-6085-WO ... SwB4NWw6vu

If I had to describe the keyfeel it's more like very high-quality rubber domes than a mechanical keyswitch, hence why I showed it in the HHKB video.
