While working on my sinklist items and harvesting my keyboards, the one keyboard that really hurt when harvesting was the SGI silicongraphics AT101 9500900.

Fantastic construction, very nice non clicky, tactile keyfeel. http://www.clickykeyboards.com/index.cfm/fa/items.main/parentcat/20188/subcatid/0/id/366186

That's the reason why I am looking for another one.

PM me if you have one available.

how much is left of the one you sacrificed? enough to make a tenkeyless out of?

The print is intact, the outer shell, metal plate and keycaps are all there, I just harvested the switches......

Why? Are you willing to spend time to revive it? Where would you get those dampened white alps from?

that case looks like a dell at101 would fit in it

hmmm i wonder

Does anybody have a spare space bar which is not yellowed?

Is there any interest in the black Dell AT101Ws (GYUM90SK). I found a few decent, used keyboards recently.

They looked good in the warehouse and the warehouse monkey said that they were in perfect working condition. However, unfortunately it seems that all these particular keyboards have at least a few keys that are non-responsive or have worn lettering. The person with a lot of free time could probably make one keyboard work with the parts from the others. Alternately, you could disassemble them and take off the keys and black casing and put them on a working white AT101W

I don't really have the time for these black AT101Ws and I would rather focus on other projects. They are just taking up space and I would rather get rid of them here to those who care for the spare parts, rather than add them to the garbage before I take off for my summer research sabbatical.

The keyboards generally looks like this.

Whoever would like them for $8 + costs of USPS shipping can have them.

You can never imagine where it is possible to find Alps nowadays

Nah, after your 'damn that was nice thus a bloody shame' I was looking to try and compare those to the possibly worn aekII I have lying here.. and ofcourse I could say I'd dump those switches in the granite, but definitely prefer the look of the apple over the sgi
Only shame is that the nicely low profiled aekII keys have dutch lettering on them (a few characters needlessly swapped spots and ofcourse they 'translated' the standard keys such as numlock etc).

Dafuq is the brand behind that (and how do clicky alps feel when used in an arcade button)?!

Count me interested; first mechanical I've used (in my 'mechanical keyboard fase' at least) is an 101w, but that has been botched up so bad it's not even funny anymore, and it did pique my interest enough to go on this journey so far seems to be quite an expensive timesink..
The botching part consisted of trying to make it more silent (greasing, bottoming out dampening), to make it clicky (folding tabs on some of them), dumping coffee on the pcb (then finding the unknownorigingunk that was already on there for 10+ years), and there was the plan to make it a TKL that due to the aforementioned fooling around never took off; also those switches were probably pretty worn, so still curious as to what a lesser used version would feel like.

I would say that, seeing how I'm swamped for time as well, and that I already have and will have a few boards to toy around with, someone without should take precedence.
But I am interested for sure. Kinda scared to calculate the shipping/paying costs though (ofc no paypall available, just IBAN or else through a third person). What kind of weight are we talking about?
IF I'd get those, I'd probably reuse one case to house a to-be-built TKL board in with switches from Round4.
Oh, before adding to the garbage rest assured that there would be someone interested in those, so if need be just open a thread in the marketplace adding that they need to be gone very soon.

TLDR: Nice offer, shame about the non-coiled cable, interested yet there are probably people more needy.

Yeah, that was the same gripe I had. I have no idea how much that would cost me in shipping fees... :S

The weight of complete black AT101W in a cardboard box is 4.2 pounds. If you a friend or colleague in the US who can accept the parcel for you, US domestic parcel post shipping is about $15. International shipping from New York to the Netherlands via USPS international priority mail would be $50+.

Back in 2004, I setup a proper business merchant account and we are setup to securely process credit cards (Visa, MasterCard) as well as PayPal or international postal money orders.

If you just need certain parts, such as just the keys or just the front and back cover.. then the shipping weight could be less of course. Although, I think with a little TLC from the right person with free time to tinker, the keyboard could probably be brought back to full function.

I used to type on SGI 9500900 keyboards all the time and miss them. Wish I could have snagged one, maybe someday.

Nice keyboards, fantastic keys.

I'll try on my JP Filco Zero sometime.

Indeed; Box/weight choices are 4 or 20 pounds, and a >=20pound box costs $60.95 (to NL) according to USPS. Would fit 4 boards weight-wise. But don't forget taxes and payment 'costs'.

Sadly that's a bit much for me atm (esp considering you don't get much at all out of that); consider my appetite cancelled. Thanks for checking though!

And GL/HF to he/she who ends up with a few nice black cases, switches and caps (do TKL one)!


*EDIT: and back on topic, anyone have that SGI board for MrInterface?
