Picked up a Cherry MX 5000 today which I found on marktplaats.nl. The third one I found this way, 15 EUR. It's almost like new.

I see you like them with key caps missing.

:-)

Also, I see I should look more at marktplaats!

They were hot for a while in the Netherlands in an ergo package together with a mouse.

Keycaps missing by design. Above the older version with more keycaps.

Looks like there are switches without springs.

In its un-ergonomical position, it is a nice keyboard with extra keys to the left.

The version with Windows keys has the infamous "super blacks" on the left and the key caps are not doubleshot there.
P.S. Where those blacks in your group buy?

The first was 10 euro, the second 10 or 15, and this one 15. That's a premium price here for an "old keyboard". Which is what the sellers think it is, just an old worthless keyboard. If it makes you feel better, that's over a period of three years. There are hardly any interesting keyboards for sale here, traffic is very low.

They will be available in the next round along with the pink, orange and crystal clears. I also plan to include ALPS, buckling spring and Topre switches, plus any combination of springs in these switches....

I'm just a little bit pissed off here. I called the seller first but she didn't like the idea of posting a parcel and preferred the keyboard to be picked up. Enter webwit.
:evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:

edit: I'm ok... in fact, I raise my hat to webwit for his quickness.
