Title: Cherry rackmount keyboard
Post by: precarious on Thu, 25 July 2013, 19:22:47
IT'S GONE, FINALLY

4/16/2014
Reviving this old thread because I still have this thing and I'm going to try one last time to sell it before I throw it into a dumpster.  If you want it or know someone who does, ACT NOW -- SUPPLIES ARE about to go into the dumpster, as previously mentioned.

-----

This keyboard has MY switches, not MX.  They actually feel pretty decent, though, since the keyboard appears to have never been used. The keycaps are new condition, don't appear to have ever been typed on.  I am unable to confirm decisively if the keyboard works since it uses the older AT connector, and the mouse connector appears to be serial.  No reason why it shouldn't however, given the condition, and the "funktion geprüft" stamp of approval.  DANKE!  Pretty hefty, coming in at around 10 pounds.  Keeping this post simple, but I'm happy to answer any questions - post away!

$30 BUCKS SHIPPED TAKES IT, WHAT A STEAL ! ! !

BRING THIS LITHE, DOE-EYED RACKMOUNT FOREST CREATURE HOME TODAY!  SHE'LL LOOK DROP-DEAD GORGEOUS WREATHED IN HONEYSUCKLE AND HIBISCUS PRANCING COYLY ABOUT YOUR COUNTRY ESTATE'S WELL-MANICURED BOTANICAL GARDENS.  DON'T HAVE ANY OF THAT STUFF?  WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR!  BUY THIS KEYBOARD AND THE SPLENDORED LIFE OF A AN ECCENTRIC ARISTOCRAT RECLUSE CAN BE YOURS!  FOR ONLY TWENTY SIX DOLLARS SHIPPED WITHIN THE CONTINENTAL UNITED STATES!!!!!!

I'd be interested, but at 10lbs, that would be expensive to ship.

Flat Rate medium box should do it I think, shouldn't be more than $10 but if this is international gg.

Would this thing fit in the medium box?

I figured it would take a large box that would be ~$17 priority CONUS.

Current dimensions are approximately 20 x 12 x 4 inches but I haven't bubble wrapped it or cut up another cardboard box for its exterior shell yet, so flat rate is probably out of the question.  That's kind of why I was going with $10 + shipping, since I'm not sure what it's going to cost to ship yet.

Is there a model number on this? I don't think I overlooked it, but my brain hasn't been operating at 100%, so it's possible.
Title: Re: Cherry rackmount keyboard (new condition)
Post by: precarious on Sat, 27 July 2013, 20:25:19
that probably would've been good information to include. :)

in german:
Dezeichnung
Tastatur
Type D Artikel 70-175-10
Prod. Datum  12975463

definitely an odd one.

going to see if i can cram this thing into a usps flat rate box tomorrow if i can get one, with it being sunday.  otherwise i guess we'll see on monday. ;)

Cherry keyboard on ultra-stiff metal plate; no one can say Cherry keyboards have poor build anymore!

Seriously how did you come by this beauty? I'm abroad, so no way I can buy this. just curious. Surely Ivan Ivanovich the Cherry maniac can be suckered into buying it?

picked it up on ebay a while ago uncertain as to whether it was MX or MY.  would've been an amazing find if it were MX, but they're not bad for MYs

looking at it, I can't help but wonder whether it can fit Cherry MX. I've read an article on Deskauthority saying that they mostly can except for the modifiers. Why don't you try selling the keycaps separately?

if you think you could kill a man with your filco, this thing's so heavy-duty you could commit genocide with it!  BE THE HARBINGER OF WORLD WAR 3 WITH THIS KEYBOARD TODAY

maybe you could fit MX switches into it, but that's going to have to be for someone else to figure out.  no guarantees here.

If it was just the beige/cream, I'd be all over that, but not a fan of checkerboard sets at all.  Good luck, I know there are some people who love that look.

I assume the caps are Cherry profile, right? Pad printed, doubleshot, dye sub?

Can you get a shot of the underside of a cap by chance?

looks like lasered thin pbt.  if you look at the one picture with the underside of the backspace key i don't see the silly MY stabilizers either so i'm assuming they should all be that way.  been so long i don't even remember what they look like.

definitely lasered thin pbt though, even the 1x mods with center stems.

Hahahhahaha!

I want nothing more in this world, than you finally selling your nemesis. But my longing is littered with ambiguity, ´cos I find your bumps highly entertaining.

I wish you good luck in your endeavors, or not  :)
