9.99$, NEW keyboard, with choice of MX, ML or MY
« on: Thu, 17 December 2009, 18:27:53 »
Anyone has bought any of those before ? (it's at a store and not ebay, price seems amazing !)  Seems like an awesome deal especially for those who would like to harvest some new switches :

That's a rubber dome keyboard. The blurb at the bottom is just a generic Cherry ad.

Moral of the story - if it sounds too good to be true, it is.

I'm afraid they'll only ship Cherry's G83 rubberdome board for that
price.

wow that was a fast reply... thanks guys. I've been to the forum 3 months (and addicted already), and have two IBM M's (one spring, one rubber dome - painted black the keys to learn touch), a HHKB Lite and currently waiting for an ADB adapter to start using my recently purchased AEKII... Also chasing a Compaq G-80 with brown cherries on ebay.

Weird thing with me is that I never got to like M's spring (which people love), and enjoyed more the M with domes... I guess I've got weak fingers or something like that.... The AEKII feels just about right though and looking fwd to try it once the adapter arrives.

Seems to me I'm more on the lighter side of typing g's, and would like to try out brown cherries also to get a feel...

What about the $10 NIB cherry browns a few weeks ago?

Well, I guess that was just luck.

Would these caps fit MX switches?  If so, it might be worth it just for that.

Nope. Standard rubber dome keyboards with standard rubber dome keycaps. I had one many a moon again.
