Great/Interesting Finds

[tentator]

Wondering what key sequence code will be sent by those keyboards when you press a diagonal... for compatibility I'd expect sending two key presses of the orthogonal components actually...

[Khronokrator]

I have an FK-9000, but I actually haven't tested it thoroughly beyond the basics once I finally got it working (the switches need cleaning/replacing). It has the star nav cluster with the diagonal arrows... but IIRC the keyboard tester that everyone uses online actually picks them up as two keystrokes, e.g. diagonal left is Up + Left.

Yes, that's the way Focus programmed them. The controller also sends the wrong release codes for them, if you look closely xD .

[Khronokrator]

Somehow, that figures. Oh, Focus.

I've never seen a Focus like this before, but if they do pop up occasionally, then I've probably just glanced over them.

That's the Focus FK-2000 Plus, more here:

Guys ....

I kindly ask you not to bid on this one. I was following it to create the first FEXT with it, if the price does not rocket.
It is ANSI ! I live in the near, which means no shipping cost (probably)

Don't you say it doesn't help!

It is a well known fact that cats make people take you more seriously!

[tentator]

okidoki but it seems already followed by a lot of ppl not really having a clear idea how to do ebay....

maybe you should show THEM a cat picture!

[Redmaus]

If you really don't want other people to bid on it, it has to be your cat next to a keyboard.

IBM spent an enormous amount of money on visual design of their products. They understood very well that if something looks good it often has an edge in sales. I guess this shows in the style of their other products and keyboard as well - but yeah, that little computer in particular looks really fancy ^^ .

That first one's a Cherry keyboard. Pretty confident.

I actually like the legend colors on these.

The gold-on-black is pretty nice. Reminds me of the Type Heaven.

According to the wiki it's the "older Alps version".
edit: someone snapped it up quickly.

I also came across this: https://www.gumtree.com/p/keyboards-key ... 1160708248

Anyone in the Devon area fancy sorting through a "few" keyboards?

From the description, they seem to have mx blues. The price is not bad if you like the wood. Should also sound way better than a cheap plastic case, less hollow and all.

The wood cases look really cool and like a really clean "mod", reminds of the woodlook airbrush special edition cherry g8X 3000 that was posted some time ago, but these cases are a way better.

Quite certain it is not a Cherry keyboard, just have a look at the CapsLock, G and Numpad 0 keys.
Cherry wood for the case, yes

Apparently both cases are shown with just one set of keycaps. See the O cap.

Thank you very much for that link. Got it earlier.

Also if somebody is from Ingolstadt, this should have some nice dyesubs I think:

Seller doesn't want to ship, so that sadly isn't an option.

There's also an AEK I on german ebay right now which I'd very much like to buy. However there is already a bid, is one of you guys interested in it as well?

Anybody looking for a Fujitsu-made AT&T branded JIS board? It is quite likely not mechanical but probably has rubber domes.
