Who here is going to be bidding on the M15 linked here? I suspect the owner of it appears to just want to take the best offer now as there isn't a reserve on it anymore.

Is this legit? I didn't think eat-1010s came with anything other than futaba switches.

Theyre definitely futabas, the seller probably has no idea what blue alps are, and he is going with the sold listings.

ANSI Dell AT101 on Gumtree for £20 in West Midlands (UK)

https://www.gumtree.com/p/keyboards-key ... 1195393907

Is it me or has the market been a bit dry lately? Not that I expect the market to be flooded with NIB Zenith or Focus or Omnikeys, but it would be nice :)

Gumtree's always bollocks. I did get a UK Olivetti off it about 2 years ago though, but that's pretty much the only decent board I've ever seen there.

Oh I wasn't referring to Gumtree specifically, just a comment about the market in general. But yeah, Gumtree isn't great. I also look on Shpock now and again. Seems quite popular these days - and it being called a 'boot sale app' - keyboards might appear on there.

The description says that all the keys work, but some are stiffer.

What kind of switches, keycap mounts, and keycaps are in that Olivetti?

I have never seen that particular Olivetti here but I'm pretty sure those are dye-subs like on the Olivetti ANK 25-101.

wiki/Olivetti_ANK_25-101

The mount is proprietary Olivetti and I bet it's a rubberdome like the ANK 25-101. But those dye-subs.... :shock:

Wow, really? I've seen the Dell branded Model M, but that's the first time I've seen one branded Das. I guess that's how they got started.

Interesting.
Definitely not Model M - the narrow sides are a dead giveaway.

seems to indicate this would be a rubber dome keyboard, but according to
the keyboard got switches and 5 groups of differently weighted springs, which doesn't exactly sound rubber-domey ...

It IS a Key Tronic, the first Das was rubber dome.

I wonder how that would make Das fans feel xD .

I sense the vibe of an analogy here: having a HHKB Pro 2, it's interesting to learn about the 1st version :) http://web.archive.org/web/200005100928 ... bqual.html

No photo which actually shows it's an IBM, does anybody recognise this?
