should be blacks.

I think this has the larger of the 2 fonts TG3 used, but there's only a small difference.

ai, damnit, these things are ridiculously cheap in the US and ridiculously expensive to ship to me.

And I actually like their stuff. I've opened mine and desoldered it (was planning on a future trackball mod plus dremel plate mod and SIP socket mod). TG3 has what I think is the best quality of commonly available keyboards. If I'd known they existed I would have never bought a single Razer all these years ago.
Most of the modding can be done on your own once you break through the psychological barriers.

Because nearly every police car has them; the less common alternative is a docking panasonic toughbook which usually the detective vehicles get outfitted with and I've even seen those outfitted with TG3's as well for ease of access while seated.
Many are popping up as the era of the ultra-popular ford crown victoria police interceptor is in its twilight years having been officially discontinued by ford and replaced with the taurus interceptor. Replaced cop cars end up being parted out before being sold at auction or flattened.

I already have most of their models and am not going to buy more unless I kill my TG3 doing a trackball mod. But I have way too many projects now. I think I keep modding because I never find a keyboard that I really love enough to throw everything else aside/store them.

I believe there is a Canadian variant that comes with a trackball instead of the touch pad. I'm guessing it was Canadian anyway. It had French on the modifier keys instead of English.

Like everything else, I learn of this too late  :'(

In any case I'm not really buying any more keyboards. Probably 1 or 2 more Matrix boards, then some parts, and hopefully I'm done.

I have a broken W key so anyone not needing theirs can find a home here.

Those 2-per-lot ones are 27.95+18.95sh = $46.90, so... 23.45 per board. Which is alright.

This sale lets you buy just one for $24.99

Save money and buy just one, or buy two for a meager discount and have a backup, I guess?
