Is somebody interested in a Keyboard from an Gabriele 9009 ? (without caps)

I harvested the keycaps cause it was free , but i dont wanna throw away stuff that someone might want.

Parts are free, shipping has to be covered though.
Condition is good, almost no scratch (for MY standards)

Cheers,
Nick :)

There should also be a single Cherry MX White and a single white Cherry M9 on the inside of this machine. Theoretically speaking :geek:

If I remember correctly, the MX White should be inside the casing to the left and gets actuated when the carriage has returned to home position. Or maybe it is to the right and is actuated at carriage end?

The M9 should be to the right in the front, and is used as a safety feature in order to prevent the machine from functioning while the lid is open. There should be a peg sticking out from the lid to indicate where it is.

There is a slight chance I am confusing this with another machine, but I'm around 90% certain that it's like this!

Woo! Great to see the switches didn't go to (e-) waste!

Wait, those both looks like M9. Mine had a combination of a M9 and MX. Variations between versions I guess :D

I find it interesting that there are white and black switches on this keyboard.

Do they have any difference in weight feeling?
