Title: [DE] some ebay finds
Post by: 7bit on Mon, 13 December 2010, 14:17:52
For Apple fans:
8 Apple Keyboards deutsche Tastatur +2 Macally Tastatur (http://cgi.ebay.de/8-Apple-Keyboards-deutsche-Tastatur-2-Macally-Tastatur-/190479385816?pt=Mäuse_Tastaturen&hash=item2c5974c4d8)


Don't know if this is something decent:
digital (http://cgi.ebay.de/PC-Computertastatur-Tastatur-Keyboard-digital-RT-102-/130464842109?pt=Mäuse_Tastaturen&hash=item1e604f817d)

Maybe it is, or someone pays to find out it is not;-)

Same with this:
Siemens (http://cgi.ebay.de/PS-2-Tastatur-unbenutzte-Maus-Fujitsu-Siemens-/380298301067?pt=Mäuse_Tastaturen&hash=item588b8b8e8b)

Now comes a real keyboard:
NIB Model M (http://cgi.ebay.de/IBM-Keyboard-Tastatur-1391403-Model-M-Klick-Clicky-NEU-/160516831442?pt=Mäuse_Tastaturen&hash=item255f8c78d2), but wrong layout and wrong date of birth (born 11 years too late!).

Buy it cheaper, used:
Refurb Model M (http://cgi.ebay.de/IBM-Tastatur-Model-M-mit-Klick-100-OK-gereinigt-/250740322141?pt=Mäuse_Tastaturen&hash=item3a6149af5d), still wrong layout, but only off by 5 years!


For Commodore fans:
COMMODORE CBM US KEYBOARD 700 SERIE "NEW" (http://cgi.ebay.de/COMMODORE-CBM-US-TASTATUR-KEYBOARD-700-SERIE-NEW-/170577533731?pt=Klassische_Computer&hash=item27b7369b23)
Maybe useless, but looks great! Shell is sold separately.

Ever heard of
ROBOTRON (http://cgi.ebay.de/ROBOTRON-Computer-Buchungsrechner-Tastatur-Drucker-/250738733697?pt=Klassische_Computer&hash=item3a61317281)?
Item ships with genuine east-German dirt from more than 25 years ago!

That's a mushy as hell rubber-dome. Avoid at all costs.

Don't know if shameless self plugs are looked down upon around these parts but here goes nothing...

For GH members of the EU outside of Germany we can talk about shipping costs if you are interested in bidding.

NMB rubber dome. Those enjoy a pretty good reputation, though the yellowing isn't too pretty.

I wouldn't call Siemens/FSC boards "mushy". They are soft, medium-force rubber domes, but with little key wobble and friction in spite of a 1-piece key construction (the latter two factors make all the difference between a "soft" and a "mushy" rubber dome). Like poor man's Topre. Only the lettering is notoriously weak, which is why I don't use my KBPC PX.

Think it depends much on their age and/or wear. I have a few used ones here that I have yet to recycle and some of them feel like the keycaps are mounted directly on Götterspeise.

I really like the Siemens FSC keycaps. Wish they made some MX based ones.
