[Keybug]

Marvellous tactile SMK inverse cross mount switch - cheap for Frenchies. Have the same keyboard or I would have asked seller to ship to Germany. Decent condition...

So, I hope I'll get to keep reading about all these interesting findings around the net and the complains about the absurd prices : D

Ha don't mind me, I wasn't saying that out of annoyance, but rather just making a comment about how the lazy will scavenge threads like these. I'll continue to keep posting deals as I find them.

P.S. A few years ago we used to remove posts that people were watching, do people still do that?

That is a possibility but there is no system in pace for that.

We could use the post reporting system but i dont want to increase mod workload , there is more of us now tho so i will change a chat and see.

Posts have never been removed by mods,
occasionally they were edited by their authors when requested to do so by other members.

Yeah that.

Let’s not start deleting posts because other users object to having links shared. That sounds like a recipe for disaster.

I was going to go for this, but then I thought of all the unsightly board chow I'd be forced to view...

Really?? You wanted to destroy a prototype for SWITCHES?

[Tuntematon]

Not just any switches, orange or salmon Alps. Only a few million keyboards were made with these switches.

Why not? It's just a keyboard.

Even so, I dont even like Apple stuff myself and I wouldnt destroy it for the switches. A prototype is a prototype, even if it is from a shitty company.

Yeah, so what? It's still a prototype that's a rare part of tech history.

Computer>>>>>some switches

[hansichen]

But the computer is unusable now and just a waste of space. I could use these awesome alps switches in my new reddit build, that's way better, isn't it?

It's an Apple prototype!! There are probably less than 50 of these that were even made, and even fewer survived!

I'm praying that you're sarcastic.

Welp, I guess $500 off was the magic sauce...

The pictures show it clearly on and running, so it isnt unusable; maybe in a modern sense.

Of course it is.
