I snipped the "keyboard" a pair seconds ago,
It looks if it has some cherry clear mx switches in it (I want to harvest them).
Also on the top of the thing it looks like a cherry g84 ML switch keyboard.
If somebody want the round shaped keycaps for a special projekt (like a keyboard with a trackball in his mid and the keys around the trackball, just my imagination
![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif)
When I have the board (I don´t know if the seller ships with DHL, maybe it takes a bit longer) I post some pictures in a other thread, because I have never seen such a board with mx switches in it.

I wanted ever try a cherry ML keyboard. There are always people that say a switch is worse, like the cherry MY switch. I owned a typewriter with cherry MY switches (Black and Clear) and it wasn´t like typing on "wet newspaper", I liked it. Also the MY switch have the benefit that no keycap wobble because they have a really large slider.

I got the TI board! Thanks everyone for your help! (If you didn't bid on it, you helped.) ![Razz :-P](./images/smilies/icon_razz.gif)
I'm going to see if I can head down there today to pick it up. Otherwise it will need to wait until next week.
I really hope it is Hall Effect - watch it be foam and foil instead.![Crying or Very Sad :cry:](./images/smilies/icon_cry.gif)

Why get one, when you can get two for very slightly more shipping? That's true in the US at least.
Order direct at:
http://meci.com/nib-ibm-japanese-letter ... 12884.html
http://meci.com/nib-ibm-chinese-letteri ... 13442.html
Or just send them an e-mail for a larger order. They've worked with DT folks before.![Wink ;-)](./images/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif)

Oh sad. ![Sad :(](./images/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif)
Maybe send me a PM and I can send you mine. Same $25 price but maybe my shipping rate is less. Mine is new but out of the box. I do still have the original box.
I've been meaning to order another anyway. I want to get a Chinese and a Japanese together if I place another order.

I'll get photos as soon as I get the board. I've already sent mail to Goodwill to give me a quote for $0 shipping and pickup instructions.

Do you mean the really junky Hall Effect one from Montana that I picked up a while ago? The same seller also had a blue ovals board. I picked up both at a really absurd offer price and benefitted from combined shipping.
I was looking forward to taking apart that RAFI board as a relatively low risk experimentation board for the wiki and for my own experience. I may be willing to part with it after restoration is complete. It's in kind of rough shape: scratchy switches, some damaged key caps - and does need some love.

Oh, the switches are about as smooth as anything. You don't press down on anything but a spring. Maybe there is a tiny bit of parasitic drag but not much. It really bugs me that Enter has a super heavy spring - that's something I need to change.
dzhoou: You win a $20 credit in the Keypocalypse store for being awesome.
That's most of the way to a Space Invaders board, or all of a newer PS2 M122 with some missing keys. (Before shipping of course.)

Thanks a lot, I'm flattered! As I have a shortage of room space due to Model F's, I'll hold on to it till something exotic shows up ![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif)
Were you referring to two different boards, the "junky" and the DIN5? because you said the switches are scratchy first.

Yeah, I have two RAFI Hall effect boards. One is the one I won in the auction for something like $20. The other is the nearly new one that I purchased from webwit for, well, rather more than $20.
