I am a sucker for APL legends.
I would never pay that much money for it but maybe somebody else wants to.

I don't even know what this is. Seems to have the same switches as this Siemens:

Save it from the bin!!

Would anybody like to save this little bugger from the bin?

This thing is really interesting but also really hard to use. But if you want one to try it out, here is your chance. It's in very good condition but I cannot find a fitting cable right now. Looking for shipping + best offer within a week. PM me any offers. :) 20200310_110524.jpg 20200310_110533.jpg...

This is a Datacomp DFK555, have the same one. Nice board!

Does yours work with a normal DIN to PS2 adapter?

No, I don't have an adapter for it either.

No, these are skcl greens for sure.

Good to know, thanks! Do you maybe also have a suggestion what it's worth?
I don't know how to even test if it works.

Is this skcl gren alps? (:

How do I find out? Do I have to open a switch?

Those are probably dampened

Okay, thanks!

I don't know what this might be good for but I think it's awesome!

Actually - scratch that - at the very least it would be great for turning hand-molded wrist-rests into 3D printable parts!

That keycap is actually missing.

The keyfeel is linear. There is no real label on the back just a SN: 2881172 which probably isn't helpful for anything.

Extra picture:

Not sure what else to say.

Any questions?

Hm...how would I identify those? I have an Apple Extended Keyboard II. Is that what you need?

Thanks!

This was the keyboard board from an old laptop.
If you know which switch this is let me know so I can update the subject!

I would like to buy the one above with J39 date code, please. 35 euro are you capable of desoldering the switches and just ship them?
I am in Sweden. (:

Can I ask why you specifically want that date code if you only want the switches?

I have gotten some PM offers. 50 for the J version and 30 for the other.

To all the people who just said they want one: please make an offer!

About shipping...I'm not an expert so feel free to correct me but it looks like this would work for Germany (from https://www.dhl.de/en/privatkunden/pakete-versenden/deutschlandweit-versenden/paket.html ) DHL parcel 2 kg max. 60 x 30 x 15 cm EUR 5.49 Only online and this to the UK, and other EU....U...

I mean..I got it this way, that's all I can tell you.

Cherry made new tools at some point and switches manufactured after are known as "retooled". AFAIK the difference can be determined when comparing the stem: https://imgur.com/0hCXwps Okay, I'm not sure where the humps are supposed to be. Here are some close-ups! Oh..wait...yes, these are old ones! ...

Alright, I didn't find an adapter but I did find an old laptop that has a PS/2 connector. Windows XP says "Hi!".

I am happy to report that everything seems to work fine.

Hm...ok, before I accidentally screw anybody over I should probably figure out if those trackballs actually work. x)

I have one of those blue cube adapters. Let's see if I can find something in my old stash to test the mouse part.

These are not retooled I assume?

Retooled how? I guess I don't know keyboard jargon anymore.

There, fixed the wrong quote. x)

I have these two guys. Got them from somewhere on here many years ago.
Cherry MX browns, in case you want them as donors.

Again, looking for shipping + best offer in about a week to save them from the bin.

You are selling boards, do you also buy boards?

This baby has beautiful black spaceinvaders. And it has USB and works. I am typing this post on it right now. I'm not sure where I got it. Probably ebay. memorextelex.jpg 20200306_223157.jpg Downsides: 1. Weird layout 2. Two keycaps are missing and the ESC switch is broken If you're interested make ...

Cool website, do you also buy?
