might as well throw this one in there:

This isn't mechanical, but the case is really interesting and could make a cool 60% project: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dolch-PAC-Keyboard-with-8P8C-RJ45-Plug/301921443785

not sure, but I'm fairly certain that they all use the same controller board that you can solder a ps/2 wire to. at least that's been my experience with 3 different dolch keyboards.

really surprised these haven't sold yet esp with best offer option... used to sell quickly at 120-150 range.

Whoever got the two for parts I may have spare caps for you. My number pad is too bad to recover and case is busted so I'll probably just harvest it.

All sold.  Yay for time zones!

Not that I could afford the silly international postage anyway.
"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

Interestingly they were bought by low feedback users (1 feedback, 4 feedback, 9 feedback, and a 42 feedback user who also purchased another). Wonder if they were alt accounts.

They're all gone now.

Do you guys program macros to type that sort of thing? I see it so often.

Who knows what you are actually getting, too. I think they just use one pic to represent many different boards.

Some people just don't use eBay a lot...I only just got to 28 feedback, but have been registered for quite a few years. Does that make me suspicious even if I pay promptly?  :rolleyes:
