Title: Chicony kb-5981 9.95
Post by: sealcouch on Tue, 20 July 2010, 10:13:07

I bid on this and now I realize that I probably shouldn't have because I've bought so much **** lately. I don't want to retract the bid so someone should totally bid over me. =D

Just retract your bid, no big deal.  As long as there is more than 12 hours left you can.
It's a rubber dome keyboard anyway, not clicky mechanical.

It's past 12 hours. *facepalm* I just sent him a message. Hopefully he'll let me retract it. How do you know it's just rubber dome, anyway?

Chicony KB-59xx are all rubber domes AFAIK.  The good thing for you is the seller says it's clicky when I don't think it is.  You can confirm with them and if it's not, you could get them to let you off the hook.  Have them slowly press the key and listen for a click part way through the switch travel, before it bottoms out.
