[SOLD] Matias Tactile Pro for Mac, white w/ lots 'o sub-legends, $60 shipped
« on: Sat, 07 October 2017, 17:41:18 »
Matias Tactile Pro Mechanical Keyboard Model FK302 USB Alps Box MAC PC Clicky











"Gently used", interesting extended-char. sublegends! The seller thinks one of the case clips is "broken"—but from the photo in the listing, it looks to me like it's just become unseated somehow... What do you think?

$60.00 + free U.S. shipping.

If you do buy this, I'd ask the seller not to simply ship it in its original box, as they intend, but to double-box it to protect the keyboard better.

Hmmm...seems there's a version 3 and version 4 of these, and the version 4 letters are printed and wear off easily.  I wonder which board was in the auction?

"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

I saw that one, but there's a button that's not on the version 3 or version 4, and in the quick reading I did about the board seems the early ones (like this one?) had some quality/design/build issues.

Still, not a bad price for it, but I wonder about the keycaps as well as longevity.
