I've asked the seller if he has some of the chameleon modules left and the answer was negative.
But he still has 2 MID-XM-KM032MAA Modules left! If somebody wants them it is maybe your last chance to get them.

The trouble with the chameleon modules we bought on eBay was that they came without the power supply and fitted with the wrong cable. I fixed that ;)

thanks for pointing this out Half-Saint, I am wondering what are the dimensions of the unit and would it still work with a PS/2 to usb adaptor?

Dimensions: 138 x 222 x 42 mm, weight 650 g

It works great with the USB adaptor. However, programming can only be done through PS/2! Tipro ChangeMe software doesn't recognize the Chameleon, if a USB adaptor is used.

Bump. I'll go as low as 75€ shipped but you get to replace the cable yourself.

I'm surprised not one has sold yet considering what you can do with the boards and the fact they're quite special.

Well 5 months later I'm still stuck with both surplus boards. I'm surprised, to say the least.

They only have all of their feature on windoze, right? Not on osx or linux? And does each key have 8 colors, or is this one of those with one color light?

No, programming has to be done on a 32-bit Windows machine w/ PS/2 port. Once programmed, you should be able to use it on any OS.

Each key has 8 colours as each key has its own LCD display.

Wow.. must be the longest running unsold sales thread. Since when is it impossible to sell a keyboard on a keyboard forum? :D

I guess it is the non-mx switches that are the problem.

It does have MX switches. 12 of them (the two lower rows), and all are freely programmable :!:

It's only the ones with a display which for obvious reasons do not have MX switches.
But hey, they have programmable displays!
