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.

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!!!

That's a spicy first bid!

this will probably finish at a sane price .. something like 900€^^
good luck with the auction

You could get more if you advertise on geekhack with a full dolch set on it, and a clack!

Modify one to be used by your feet.

*wince*

Name your price and I will tell you how long I will have to save for it.

I may sound dumb, but why is the auction going so high ?? This keyboard is good but how can it be so expensive ?

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.

Ok thanks

Extremely rare. And it's practically new.

Datahand info update:
I just heard that Lynn is out of the upgrade chip to convert Personal models to Pro II. Yikes!

Was this meant for the datahand thread?

Thread needs more bids.

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."

Pah, the uTron with its bastard Japanese layout.
