I have these two guys. Got them from somewhere on here many years ago.
Cherry MX browns, in case you want them as donors.
Again, looking for shipping + best offer in about a week to save them from the bin.

I get in line, I am not so choosy and offer 15€+shipping, just in case someone would quit.

Hm...ok, before I accidentally screw anybody over I should probably figure out if those trackballs actually work. x)
I have one of those blue cube adapters. Let's see if I can find something in my old stash to test the mouse part.

Alright, I didn't find an adapter but I did find an old laptop that has a PS/2 connector. Windows XP says "Hi!".
I am happy to report that everything seems to work fine.

Can I ask why you specifically want that date code if you only want the switches?
