I'm gonna leave this here, hope you get my point of view. Lets not continue this argument anymore it's starting to get rather silly from both ends. I'll leave a discord chat with ZyBer, few people are asking whats going on and I need new key caps if this keeps going further. Too much typing include...

Is $1500 not enough? I mean you got it for 30 Euro. Sorry but it seems like you are actively contributing to the price inflation that makes it so hard for people(especially newer members such as yourself) to obtain these boards. Most people don't have the money to put out a car payment on a beamspr...

A member contacted me and heavily suggested putting the item up on Ebay with the price being 2999.99$. He said if I was not going to do that, he would buy the board from me with 2000$ and continue from there. So we made a deal. I'm trying to sell the product through Ebay (maybe Reddit aswell) with ...

Awesome pics and an awesome keyboard, thanks for sharing. Can you use it on a modern computer as is, or did you need to convert it?

Ah I see who got it now. Best of luck with the sale

Still available?

Sold, sorry!

Im pretty sure I have you beat with a 1000 I found a while ago
Best of luck with restoring that thing!

Dang that sucks, but I guess it happens to the best of them. Good luck with getting a new controller or PCB!

Any idea what keyboard they came from?

Really good looking switches, do they feel smooth?

Looks like a really interesting custom, good luck running this

kind of mind boggling it was thrown away (then again, mine was too at some point in its life :p ). Nah, that's probably the realistic part. Whether you were working in a Cherry office in those times, a pc clone shop or for a computer magazine with reviews, you got sent a lot of stuff, it ends up in...

PMd

I got it in 2010, before the keyboard hobby really got big. I was exploring some of the Asian communities, mostly South Korean (they were ahead a bit), together with sixty, and he was really into Cherry and got into trading a lot because they were too. He tipped me about a private sale, didn't have...

Anything different about it other than the model number?

Quite remarkable, probably one of the most sought after Cherries.

I think the SAT, SAR, and SAA are competing for that most sought after too.

I mean, keycap wise? Sure. Board wise? Probably not
Still, those are some incredible looking caps, esepcially SAA.

Thanks, I think soo too. Doesnt get much better in terms of cherry boards

My streak of good Cherry luck continues with another board, this time an MX5000, the ergo keyboard from cherry and one of the first keyboards to come with MX brown switches (together with the kinesis). It was dirty and needed a good clean, but that was relatively simple. Comes with vintage MX brown ...

No legal ground other than "bad kid took keyboard and made money".

Ethics wont cut it in court - if it even gets to there.

I have a little issue. I got a used Free2 and recently I notice black spots on left side of the metal axle. When it happens, the roller feels sticky. When I remove this spots, it feels smooth again, but after 2-3 days spots come back again. Any ideas? I think thats just regular grime, might be wron...

Congratulation, that's a really nice board.

Thank you

are they all doubleshots, even these?

Yep, every key on the board is fully doubleshot, no pad printing

Recently got a big-ish haul of Cherry keyboards, with what I think is an undocumented board in the pile. Its a G80-3000 WKL with slovenian doubleshot keys :) They were a bit dirty and benefited from a thorough clean. The switches are fairly smooth vintage MX blacks. Some pictures: https://files.catb...

If you do try it, please let me know. Mine refuses to work with an adapter (switched to AT or XT). Am suspecting the cable at this point since it was replaced.

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

Those are probably dampened

Wow you just got the SSK holy grail, fantastic find

Thats not ISO

Still, amazing find !

BTC5100, BTC dome with slider. Decent keyboard.

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

Does yours work with a normal DIN to PS2 adapter?

Lowered price and bump
