MXALPS-30xx and NCR G81-3007
« on: Fri, 30 January 2015, 22:14:17 »
finally I got it. I bought all parts and assemble services from taobao

spec:
Case : NCR G81-3007
PCB : MXALPS-30xx Rev 1.4
Switches : 62g MX clear lubed + stickers
Full LED
Keycaps : classic G80-3000 beige keycaps
Cable : black coil PS/2 cable

case (picture from taobao seller)




PCB (picture from photekq)


Keycaps (picture from taobao seller)





cable (picture from gilan)



assembled keyboard:







In case you didn't notice, there is a small defect in the assembled keyboard (from the above pictures). I may fix it later.

The PCB is not perfect, I can not directly use the PS/2 cable but instead I have to use the green PS/2 to USB adapter.

leeku 30xx PCB support PS / 2 AND USB. When you read the firmware,
Pressing the ESC key while the computer read the firmware using a USB connection.
Press and hold the "P" a PS / 2 interface.
Hold down the "U" Connecting USB interface.

This specific case comes from a G81-3077 which is MY, not rubber dome.

I believe I have this exact NCR keyboard.  Pics:  http://imgur.com/MwgM93F,u7BmGlL#0

I was looking up some information about it when I came across this thread via Google.  I was going to throw it away after I scavenged the key caps, but if anyone wants the case, it is still in very good condition.

The last time I tried to use the keyboard, it wasn't working.  It has MY switches anyway, and three of them are broken on the function key row.  But, if someone is interested in the case itself, it is yours for cost of shipping only (continental US).  Otherwise, it will just wind up in the trash.

You can get a PCB with plate from the TX1800 group buy. Also, there's an interest check for Leeku PCBs and maybe we have a group buy there soon.
