[WTB/WTTF] Nixdorf / Siemens Nixdorf CT11 Softkeys casing

[photekq]

Hi, I'm looking to buy, or trade for, one of these.

I currently have one, but the casing is broken. That's the only part that I really need.

Ideally, I'd like to buy/trade for a carcass that somebody has harvested the switches from. I don't need the PCB, plate, switches, or keycaps. But, I'm willing to buy whatever you have, so long as it comes with the casing.

I would also be open to buying an entire keyboard, with Nixdorf blacks included, if it comes to it.

-----

For what it's worth, I fully intend to use this keyboard, not store it away or keep it as a flex.

I've already converted the broken one that I have here to USB - I really only need the case to complete it.

Thanks!

Pretty cool for a daily driver. Very DT.

Just tell me you don’t use those arrow keys all the way up there. I’m getting anxious…

I don't use the thing at all yet, not without the casing

I haven't decided where I'd place the arrows. Easy enough to swap around with QMK though.

Natch. I’d make an HHKB-style function layer (using Loc Ret for Fn), and maybe try putting an inverted T onto the numpad as well. There’s something satisfying about 0 → left, 00 → down, 000 → right…

Depends how much you like typing numbers, tho.
