I bought the lot, I think it's even cheaper to ship the keyboards from Germany as from UK. I asked the seller for a picture of the switches and he send me a picture of a Cherry MX brown switch. Someone pointed out that also another switch could be in the keyboard, is there a DT Wiki site about this switch?

So, I will sell the keyboard in a own thread when I have them. There already 3 claimed, but if you want to call dibs on a specific keyboard, or want in general one keyboard of the lot, PM me.

Any easy way to confirm with the seller? I doubt anyone is looking for the crappy switches. Or maybe someone is, I've been wrong before...

I think the package is already send out, but even if the switches are crappy the keycaps are definitely not.

A not $300(yet) Model F AT! :) Grab it while its hot. Too bad I basically spent all of my self imposed allowance on an F XT otherwise I would probably try to snag this too. But to anyone who wants an F AT and feels like jumping into a bid war then have at it and good luck.

What is this thing? I keep seeing it and I can't work out what it is. It doesn't actually look like a real keyboard and it has what looks like a game console cartridge slot: eBay http://www.ebay.com/itm/182642144682

That's a hard combination of words to search for! I asked him if he could send pictures of the switches /caps. Will post any updates.

Pretty sure it's rubber dome. In the close up of the -/+ keys, just under the backspace, white plate material is visible. That typically means plastic and domes.

One for the vintage computer crowd: an IBM 5363 S/20

Comes with a 122 keys terminal Model M. I asked the seller whether the underside of the board was black metal or white plastic, he replied it was the latter.

Did you see that seller with a Datahand in Québec? He posted a priority ad on the Ontario Kijiji as well...but he's asking $3000 - wayyy too much for me.

That's a nice price per switch for Micro Switch SW switches, not that I have any idea what one could do with these ...

I'd love to try out how smooth new ones are. :o :shock: But at $204.16 shipping I may get another Honeywell Hall Effect KB for that $$$ instead. :maverick:
