For Sale

HP 98203C Keyboard $160 $140 OBO
This keyboard has Maxi Switch vintage linear switches and double shot keycaps that I think are ABS.
It could be easily converted and has a space to attach a controller directly to the matrix.
The build quality is very good with a solid metal case and a rotary knob.

NOS Space Invader Boards $50 $45 OBO
I have 5 of these boards that are all NOS.
The switches are one eye white space invaders and the keycaps are the fantastic dyesub PBT that comes with space invaders.
They have no logic onboard and would need a controller, but to make that easier I have a diagram of the matrix.

Alps SKCC Cream Board $175 OBO Sold
This is basically NIB, I believe that it was damaged in shipping then sent for repair and forgotten about.
I got it in a bag that say "for keyboard only" and has a date on it of 1994.
It has some pcb damage that has been patched, but the switches are essentially brand new and the caps are Alps doubleshots with Japanese sublegends.

Converted Leading Edge DC-2014 w/Blue Alps $250 OBO
This board is very clean and converted internally to USB. The USB cable is coiled and connects via a modular aviator plug.
The switches feel and sound nice and the plate has been cleaned of rust. Converted/modded by zrrion.

Yo that 2014 is sick! GLWS, though I don't think you'll need the luck - it's priced well for being ready-to-use!

Lovely boards - GLWS!

Holy cow, nice going with that blue alps board, I'm having problems making a converter for my Zenith Z-150, but the way you did it for that board is fantastic.

Man if I didn't just buy a big fat 4704 I'd get that Leading Edge in a second, with the work you did to it. It's the perfect keyboard layout IMO. It's the perfect XT layout, but without the stepped keys. And with Alps. I mean, could it get any better?!

What’s the state of the Blue Alps in that Leading Edge?

In a 0-10 scale.

wadeak78 · 10 Jul 2020, 20:09

It's the only blue alps board I have ever used, so I can't really rank them. However all of the switches feel uniform with smooth travel.

Can I get a full matrix of the SI board please?

If you're gonna do QMK, here is a head start that might save typing the matrix in again.
