Title: MX11800 (cherry brown) $17 + shipping
Post by: spolia optima on Wed, 16 June 2010, 14:14:49
This is just a heads-up: pretty good deal if you want to try the brown MX switches.

Or, since it's PCB mounted, you can swap some black stems in there for that "red cherry feeling". That's what I did, anyway :D

Love these keyboards.  I have 3 of them, and am considering buying this one too.  Looks dirty but not yellowed.  Check my sig for the Compaq MX 84u mod, you can turn this keyboard in to the ultimate space saver keyboard with a little hacksaw and a little solder.

Only own 2 of them here but yeah, they are awesome.
I swear those light-brown switches require less force than the new, dark-brown ones (i have no evidence to support this). better for fast typing IMHO.
Also, the PBT caps are topnotch. like a model M, they NEVER get shiny.

It seems like everyone who sells these keyboards only ships to the United States...
