For sale is a Keycool 87 in black with red switches (TKL, ANSI layout) (more details on the keyboard in the geekhack wiki).

Condition: One of the switches is very much busted. Additionally the wires from the USB connector are pulled out. The case latches are scratched a bit from opening the case.
Otherwise the keyboard is as good as new. Comes in the original box with all keycaps and accessories.

History: After trying the board for a few days, I felt like swapping a few keycaps. Unfortunately the "s" first didn't go all the way on and then got stuck. With all the experience of swapping a few caps between my other two Cherry boards, I decided that pulling harder was the best thing to do...
The cap stayed on, half of the switch came out. Trying to push it back in with even more force led to the completely destroyed look. Continuing to be a fucking idiot, I also managed to pull apart the USB connector inside, but that should be an easier fix (just push them back in, I guess).

I have no idea how to solder and don't know anyone who does, so repairing the board myself isn't really an option.

Price: ? (I'm open to offers)
Shipping (from Germany) is 3.90€ (4.90€ with tracking/insurance) to Germany, 8.90€/10.60€ to Europe.
Payment via bank transfer (IBAN/BIC) or Paypal.

Given that I'm new here (been lurking for awhile), I'd be willing to send first if the buyer is a more established member.

Thanks for giving this a look.

Last but not least: All the pictures for your enjoyment.

I'll take it, love soldering stuff! PM inc

How I picture hanza_tm whenever I stumble on one of his post in the classified/marketplace section:

I'd love that board. What kind of price are we talking about here ?

@Djuzuh Dude... that is without a doubt my new avatar

I am interested, too any idea about the prize?

Sorry guys, Hamza made a nice offer which I already accepted. I honestly wasn't expecting this much interest. I'll try to be more patient the next time I brutally murder a keyboard.

Nah just brutally murder the lot of them

Then learn how to solder and enjoy yourself even moar!

Make a How to solder tutorial vid with this keycool and we all profit!

Sure I think I could do that.. Only have a Galaxy S2 to make videos with though. Would that do?

Fuck you hamza, better solder the red switches to that leopold and sell it to me cheap!

How is typing on boobs not manly?

Typing on moobs is gross.

A little too much caffeine?

Wiggle with a wire puller like you have passion in your pants and know it. For ALPs the ProTip is to wiggle Left/Right and use a screwdriver if the wire puller fails.

KEEP CALM AND SOLDER ON

In all fairness, hamza did a great job replacing a couple of switches in the Das I bought from him. Totally wouldn't notice the difference.

Cheers bud! How's the Das going?

It's pretty good, the browns were definitely a good choice. It's going to be improved once I get a delivery from WASD though...

Lol, do post pics!

Board arrived like 4 days ago perfectly packaged and as new as described

scrcrw is a trustworthy guy, he sent the board first and I paid after receiving (late actually - sorry!)

Have no doubts about doing business with him!
