Let the games begin.

I just noticed that that has virtually exactly the same base layout as the ITT Courier keyboard =o . Very nice keyboard!

Let the games begin.

As this is an item that will definitely reach absurd prices..

Please, I implore everyone to not bid until the very end. Learn to snipe, for the love of God! Early bids drive up the prices!

The seller must've been keeping up with trends on this thread. 10 day auction, no reserve, low starting bid.

Yeeep.

One has to wonder where they went and raided to get like 3-4 of these if not more. Jeez.

Impressive beast!

Almost certainly foam and foil looking at the key caps. Definitely foam and foil looking at the PCB.

Dirt cheap MX 8100's with free US shipping!

Definitely lasered POM. At this price, that's free plus shipping. Sending a USPS Flat Rate Box costs more than the auction price. This is as good a deal you'll find on Cherry MX Browns, period. For the switches alone this is a steal. I may pick one up even though I already have one.

itzmeluigi · 13 Mar 2016, 16:19

Wont be bidding on this one, this ones going to probably soar, plus it would be $45 for shipping to US

Dra · 13 Mar 2016, 16:38

Well damn that got out of hand pretty quickly

seebart · 13 Mar 2016, 16:39

Yes well above what it was worth to me. I don't mind either.

Dra · 13 Mar 2016, 16:40

oh so you were the lucky winner? Can't wait for the teardown

seebart · 13 Mar 2016, 16:43

NO I did not get it, I bid less than half of that. No teardown unless someone else here got it who does that.

Everybody is now digging through their basements/junk piles/garbage dumps/taobao to find Blue Alps to sell them to idiots (more money than brains) on Ebay who are desperate to have "da cuul shit"

@Chyros... if Green Alps increase in price, I will blame it on you and your review

I think there were a LOT of factors that caused blue Alps prices to soar, not just Chyros' reviews, if that at all. Prices for blue Alps were still rather low even after Chyros' KB101A review.

Oh dear, am I going to be blamed for that as well now? xD

Well, I'd take that as a compliment I guess xD .

Right in that case we can start by killing this thread, it's the old kbdfr discussion.
