selling my mass drop tex yoda
https://www.massdrop.com/buy/tex-yodait is already finely assembled.
It has clears on all char keys and mx blacks on all modifiers.
the mouse button has brows. I installed the optional leds, obviously.
why i am selling you may ask? because i'm going full ergo dox. already have one at work and now want one at home, one in the kitchen, one in the car, everywhere!
that reminds me, i can
also trade for an ergo dox. assembled or not!
comes with:
- very nice usb cable with beautiful ferrite core in red case at the end.
- 4 or more trackpad tips. all different. i'm using one that i never saw on thinkpads. very nice.
- original keycaps that were installed after assembly and never removed. they have the Fn-alternate label on front.
- has a integrated usb hub. 2 ports. i use a gaming mouse and a drawing tablet. table is much organized now.
- original box and packaging.
- the remaining parts that MD sent extra. incl the broken touchpad if you want try to fix it and add to another board.
this one arrived with the trackpoint broken because the shipping box press against it. mass drop sent a new one so that is guaranteed to be perfect. probably better than the ones that survived the trip with the original.
everything is meticulously assembled as i was hopping that would be my main board. Also i assembled every switch with a led in it so that all the holes line up perfect if later you wish to have back-lighting, soldering the leds will be a breeze. i hate when i have to fight the leds to go trhu the switch and board... and that is the level of perfectionist assembler you are dealing with
I paid exactly $280.63
$199 MD final price
$50 for switches
$20 shipping
$11 tax
So you are paying less than $40 for assembly. it took me more than 4 hours. so i'm making less than McDonalds.
I used the board for less than two weeks. I will probably use it if i can't sell/trade and you guys only low ball me
but for now it is on the original box, under the foam pads.
I can deal locally on SoCal or Bay Area.
edit: finally took pics
front, usb cable. removed a few caps to show the switches i used. top rown and pinky chars (e.g. tab) are brow. all other chars and return: clear. modifiers: black. mouse buttons: brown, brown, clear (i like the left one to be more pronouced)
the key layout is configurable. look up the manual online. it has a bunch of DIP switches underneath
side. showing the arrow indicator led. when that mode is on, the bottom right keys are arrows.
other side. caps lock led.
under. no sign of use at all.
there is a single case screw missing from the 8... it arrived with 2 less and i dumbly only told MD that one was missing. i can ask for the missing one if you want... honestly, makes no difference.
and here it is finally with the forum name + date... on top of the original box and with two cables on the usb hub just to show the nice strap that also goes with board. it has the nicest velcro i've seen. no idea how it is called.
edit: i may also trade for a matias mini quiet plus "cash"
