FS: Macally MK-96 and 2-port ADB->USB converter

(1/3) > >>

Hey guys, I seem to have a really hard time making posts lately, I can't put anything in the classified (they dont show up), and I thought i posted here but it didn't show up. This is my last try anyway :\

I hope it's ok, like i said i couldn't post in the classified section :(

I bought awhile ago a Macally MK-96 from xsphat on here (notice the xsphat spelling on the F1-F6 keys) and the adb->usb converter. I cleaned the keys because of the yellowness (and they are still a bit yellow, but much harder to notice - the flash really exaggerated it) I didn't use it long because of how loud it was (white fake alps), i do really love the feel of the keys tho, although I have a cherry blue m10 now and am seeking to get a filco with cherry browns (also so i can carry it around easier, and not make so much noise when i type). I'm back online (i havent been in the market for awhile so i've been off, but now i'm looking for a filco again)

Anyway, this works perfect when using the converter, layout is a bit funny (see pictures) - the white switch isn't for gaming anyway, but i wouldnt recommend the layout for gaming (unless all you need it wasd, not the arrow keys). I'd say if you like the white switch this is a cheap option* (or if you want to try a white switch), i used it under windows and linux without problems.

Review of this keyboard (same keyboard that i'm selling):
http://geekhack.org/showwiki.php?title=Island:4441

I paid $30 shipped for it from xsphat, so I'm going to ask the same :)

ricercar:
Does the $30 include the ADB-USB adapter?

chimera15:
Awesome. Too bad it's not the clear keycap version.  I'd buy it instantly just to yank the keycaps and show off my blue alps board. lol

cheater1034:
Yeah $30 includes the adb adapter

I'd also trade for a brown cherry board (and some cash too if applicable :P) - ultimately i'm planning on getting a filco brown tenkeyless

I still can't figure out the classifieds :\ I tried it again and made sure the publish time was set for like 10 minutes later (i dont see an immediate publish option or anything)

Then I set it all up and clicked save, it uploaded everything then it redirected to the classifieds page and I came back later and it wasnt there, there's no trace of the ad in "my classifieds" or anything either :\
