Up for auction: a Cherry MX 5000 ANSI ergonomic keyboard (G80-5000HAMUS). I know you want it. Comes with original box and manual. I got it from the first owner, a woman who bought it because of RSI, briefly used it, and shelved it. It's clean and looks like new.

Either PM me your bid (and I'll post it as an anonymous bid here) or post it publicly here. I accept payments by IBAN. You can pay by PayPal proxy too. If you want to use another payment method, contact me first.

Bidding ends at Monday April 2 22:00 UTC. Click here for this time in your time zone.

Shipping prices (tracking, insured): € 13.55 (Netherlands), € 19.80 (western Europe), € 25.30 (rest of Europe), € 31.10 (world).

The profits of this auction will be used to sponsor deskthority hosting costs!

Won by Anonymous 4 for 823 EUR. Congratulations!!!

It's the only ergonomic keyboard that Cherry every made; they were only made over a couple of years so there aren't that many of them kicking around.

An ISO 5000 is kinda rare, an ANSI 5000 is very rare; hence the price.

I'm still on the fence. This or uTron..

EDIT: Awaiting webwit's ergonomic collection picture including both the uTron and 5000, caption reads: "Why not have both."

There isn't a countdown tag or something like that, but I added a link to your local end time in the OP.

slightly OT:
Spoiler:
Webwit, you should get your cat one of those. :D This keyboard may even be mechanical, as the creator also made a board that probably uses MX blacks (at least it looks like it :oops: ).
