Price Check: How much is my _____ worth?

[mintberryminuscrunch]

nothing

[Lamaboi]

Just as expected : )

[kbdfr]

How much is a g81-8308LPADE usualy worth? I can get two of those for a total of 8€-9€ incl. shipping :/ and yes, I know they're MY switches...
(...)
Also, are the stems of a MY switch keycap compatible with MX switches?

Two units under 10€ shipped? I would buy them if I were you because
1. they astonishingly sometimes do sell quite well: http://www.ebay.de/itm/360412534594 (sold for 89,90)
2. in any case, you'll get 48 relegendable keys with transparent lids.

And yes, MY and MX keycaps are fully interchangeable (except for non-1.0 function keys, where the stem is placed differently).
Note that the programmable keys (and only those) of the G81-8308 do not have MY, but MX switches.

Talking about Ambra Model M's, How much is an older Ambra Model M worth?

I'd say about 70€, if not more.

That was kinda what I was thinking about, because those relegendable cherry keys do look good but wasn't really sure if MY cross stems are MX compatible. Thanks for the info! Kinda wondering though what kind of printing they used on the caps.

yeah but it will be hard finding someone who pays that price

[Half-Saint]

Yeah well, I can't find anyone that'll pay 80€ for a Cherry G81-3000 SAD set either

However, considering the rarity of Ambra boards and the fact that I sold several regular Model Ms at 50€ each, 70€ should be a realistic price

The "normal" keys are lasered, the relegendable keys are blank with a transparent lid.

Hey all. How much do you guys think a G80-1000HAD that the only sign of use is a stretched cord? The only buttons used on the keyboard were F keys, and rarely, about one switch press a day. I'm not selling its all mine. Muahahahah But I would like to know what its worth. Thanks!

Around 20-30 Euros. 40-50 if you got a version with nkey-rollover.

Nice toroid.

[t!ng]

Pardon me, but what do you mean by toroid?

[ripster]

Big round thing on the cable near the numpad.

Are those Buckling Rubber Sleeve switches?

[t!ng]

Ah ok, that thing is called toroid then. Good to learn sth new.

Here is a pic of the switch:

How much is this wyse worth? Supposedly working, but without cable. Also, will it work with modern pcs?

in response to the second question: it's a terminal keyboard and won't work with modern pcs unless you mod it with a teensy controler.
Something like this:

Probably too much effort for that board.

[mintberryminuscrunch]

but the caps will be nice once cleaned

anyone ?

[mintberryminuscrunch]

depends on how much it was used or if its like new etc.

[Grond]

but the caps will be nice once cleaned

I'm concerned that some of the keycaps may not be original, due to their different color. See the ones above the arrows, for example. Also, isn't Return supposed to be gray?

to me it looks like the language specific key caps came from another batch (production circle) what explains the difference in yellowing

[Grond]

Right, I didn't think about this. But anyway, do you think I could clean them so that they all come out the same color? There's quite an amount of yellowing there.

[mintberryminuscrunch]

Stuff like Vanish Oxi Action Power White can handle a little yellowing. but you probably need something stronger.

[002]

I wouldn't have imagined that TAED by itself would reduce any yellowing?

[mintberryminuscrunch]

it does
but no comparison to the good stuff http://geekhack.org/showwiki.php?title= ... t=peroxide
