They're doubleshot... It's painfully clear in one of the photos. Unless you're referring to the "special" colored keys, in which case I have no clue.

Dunno what switches this has but it came from a nuclear power plant.

Not a terrible price, but vintage Mitsumi hybrids feel pretty terrible to type on in my opinion. I prefer a nice rubberdome over it actually.

Wow, really? I don't remember them being that bad. I'll have to dig out one of my TI-99/4As and see for myself. Really I should dig out both and see if I can combine them into a single, fully working one.

Not sure if this has interesting switches or not...

Just bought the entire lot of 11 WYSE PCE, I'd have over a thousand MX Blacks if I were to scrap them.

I might buy some from you if cheap enough.

Cherry BBO keyboard with DB-15 connector.
Has anyone ever heard of these?
I'll bid on it, if the price stays low and I get it I'll post pictures and everything

Cherry BBO = Cherry G80, very early model with M8 switches.
You can bid on it but this will only make it more expensive for me.

Hey if they're that valuable to you, go ahead, I won't get in a bid war with you

Wodan · 11 Mar 2016, 10:50

Well I already have a differently colored set of them and really want to mix them for better looks

shreebles · 11 Mar 2016, 10:50

This is absurdly civil for internet discussion.....

Love it

scottc · 11 Mar 2016, 10:51

Actually I think it's a B80, not BBO!

So you really intend to buy this piece of keyboard history just to dissect it?
Good thing you're not going to have it

scottc · 11 Mar 2016, 12:44

+1, it's very poor form to dismantle a Cherry B80. I'm happy to know that it's going to someone who will treat it right.

Don't be so sure.

It's a vintage 60% which will draw more bids than that Olympia recently.

No this is my default procedure now, it worked once which was probably coincidence more than anything.
