Nice restoration and a beautiful keyboard. Probably the only HHKB with a seemingly livable layout (disregard if you are used to the HHKB layout heh). Nice

Nice finds for sure, looking forward to the HHKB writeup. Always love a yellowed HHKB

What HHKB is that?
The FLS board looks pretty nice as well, is the case metal?

nice board ! I'm suprised to hear someone actually liking MY, but good for you ! haven't tried the black variations yet, maybe once you go black, you never go back, it sure applies to MX as well :D I reckon these are just mold marks, meaning they have been made by different "machines" Retooled MX b...

Looks to be some sort of KPT switch, but I've never seen red or black ones documented anywhere.

Thanks man, glad to hear the hobby helped you. Ironically I've seen more beamsprings than alps keyboards

Thats a whole lot of blue alps. Nice find

My wet dream is to find heavy blues. But in my country it is impossible i think. Also i love those switches. Thanks a lot.

Still waiting to find a mystical blue alps board here....or just any alps keyboard really...

Thats a whole lot of blue alps. Nice find

I have an L-Trac X which I'd be happy to part with. That's the one that went to 3200 DPI.

I guess I'd sell it for €100 + shipping.

100eur might be a little more than im willing to spend, but I will let you know

If you want a gateway into mechanical keyboards try trading one of them and selling the rest. Maybe keep one if you like it?

Oh snap, really? PMd!

Bump!

I asked cherry directly for more info about this model, and i will post here what they will answer.
I still cant find nothing besides this:

G81-3100SBU
G81- FTSC
3100-Model number
S-DYE Sublimation
B-MX Brown, PS/2
U- US ANSI

Correct me if im wrong..

Didnt know that, thanks

Woa man, cant tell if those are dyesubs or not (leaning towards doubleshots), but even if they are doubleshot...ANSI is usually worth a fair bit in this day and age. Nice find!

No it is US ANSI and it is probably first day of production becouse serial number is below 00000010, brand new, never used and in a mint condition with user manual and warranty paper. I am asking is there any piece of this model some where in the world, becouse i cant find this article number. Pict...

Looking for a CST trackball in Europe. Offers welcome!

Edit: Now also looking for an elecom huge and Kensington Expert or Turbo!

Thats a very nice F107 though. Best of luck to the seller.

Man congrats, thats an amazing deal. Good luck with your sale :) I wasn't planning on flipping it but I thought it was just an oddball keyboard. I had no idea they were that rare! >If they're that rare I think I'll probably sell it to someone who's more into keyboards than me. Seemed to me like you...

Man congrats, thats an amazing deal. Good luck with your sale

Im pretty sure my MX518 has japanese omrons, as well as an old trackman wheel I have.

Super rare and supe valuable. How much did you pay?
Also post some pictures

You're probably aware of this but mendelsons sells them NIB on their website and on ebay https://meci.com/nib-ibm-chinese-lettering-typing-computer-102-keyboard-letter-type-model-6113442.html If shipping is exorbitant I can proxy it for you, large flat rate box is $61, I'm not sure how much an econ...

We'll be making the switches available and around when the keyboard launches we'll also have a reference design so people can design custom keyboards. It'll be based around atsam4s (ARM Cortex-M4). If the ANSI board is a success, would you consider making an ISO board later on? Congratulations on t...
