this ErgonomiXX MyKey looks very interesting. It has MEI switches, according to this GH entry:

10 Keyboards in UK:

Can we do a mini GB about this one?
I already asked the seller if he sells only the G80-1800HFU and one of the two G80-3000HQG. Hasn't answered yet but hopefully he is willing to sell them separately in case we are not able to do a mini GB

Holy shit, that's a lot of nice keyboards. Might be interested in more than one specially if I have someone to share the shipping with

Well... we are both in Romania, so yes, you have someone to share shiping with, me

gogusrl · 03 Aug 2015, 20:36

My point exactly :p

derzemel · 03 Aug 2015, 20:39

Just got an answer: the seller will sell only the lot. So the only chance is a GB

jbondeson · 03 Aug 2015, 20:42

Oh man... ANSI Space Invaders, and it's an ocean away!

chzel · 03 Aug 2015, 20:45

I'd be in for the G80-1800HFU...

Go for it! You spotted it first!
BTW, are we sure the FKB4725 is Space Invaders?

I'd be up for the second G80-3000HQG and the space invaders if it's ISO or ANSI (not bigassenter).

Prelim · 03 Aug 2015, 21:08

interested on G80-3000HAG (i've pm'ed the seller asking if he can sell them separately)

derzemel · 03 Aug 2015, 21:11

Slowly we're getting there.
As I said in the OP, I want one 3000 HQG and the 1800 (to stake my claim in this oil rich land

)

photekq · 03 Aug 2015, 21:17

I just want a HQG for the clears.

Price is bad though. Do not go for it at this price. All the boards will most likely be shiny as fuck. £170 = $275~.

derzemel · 03 Aug 2015, 21:19

It seems that those HQGs are wanted by everybody

Maybe some bargaining can be done with the seller regarding the full lot, as it seems he is not willing to let got of individual keyboards

people and the fuckin vintage myth :p

Blaise170 · 03 Aug 2015, 21:46

If you all do a GB I'm in for the FKD46AK108.

Ray · 03 Aug 2015, 21:51

At least two of them are badly yellowed. And with that single pic, one doesn't know anything of the condition of any of them. As photekq says, they won't be in a good condition probably.

I am interested in the "Euro PC FKD46AK108 Pale Blue ALP Switches AT" if it isn't one of the yellow-brown ones, and the shipped price to germany is okay. (sniped by Blaise

Yes, I have asked him too earlier.

Chyros · 04 Aug 2015, 10:24

AEKII NIB starting from $25:

Comes with box, but no cable.

Ray · 04 Aug 2015, 10:42

It is AEK not AEKII. Nice find NIB

I have asked the 10 Keyboards seller to give more details regarding the FKB4725-202 HI-TEK keyboard.
I has Fujitsu Peerless switches

seebart · 04 Aug 2015, 13:19

Fujitsu Peerless is not the greatest switch trust me. It's a strange semi-dome.

Muirium · 04 Aug 2015, 14:19

Wonder whose switch ID guide they've been (mis)using to find a name like Space Invaders when they cant even spell Alps right!

I too bet the "Panrix N860-4725-T202/06 FKB4725-202 HI-TEK (Space invader)" is just a relabelled Fujitsu. Panrix was a little computer shop and PC builder in Leeds.

Much like the seller…

But Panrix went bust, several times!, a decade ago:

Leeds-based PC builder Panrix Computers appears to have shut up shop. As CRN went to press, the phone lines were ringing off the hook, the web site was not accepting any transactions and the premises were empty.
The owner of the building in Sheepscar Street, south Leeds, where Panrix rented its premises, told CRN: “[Panrix] has been gone for about a month. The building is empty. They didn’t even hand the keys back to us.”

Didn't exactly sound like a quality outfit. I really doubt their boards were up to much at all.

As for this auction? A lot of crap with a few interesting possibilities here and there. Let it sink in price. It's nowhere near a good buy yet.

Blaise170 · 04 Aug 2015, 14:32

Yeah that Panrix definitely has a Fujitsu model number. I only had 11 Peerless boards in my possession at one point...

seebart · 04 Aug 2015, 14:33

Sounds to me like they're getting rid of old junk stock.
