Thanks for the idea, but read that these can be hit or miss... a used one may not even give you half the experience of a brand new MX brown board

I have a full sized G80-6955 with Cherry browns for sale. It was NEW IN BOX when I got it last year, and it's been on the shelf most of its life. Here is a quick picture of the exact keyboard.

It's got PCB-mounted browns, and it's been modded by having the PCB bolted to the lower case (to improve the tightness of the feel).

• $50 + ship I'd restore regular key caps to the board: white legends for alphanumeric and crystal-capped re-legendable caps for the programmable keys.
• $75 + ship you WOULD get the double shot and special key caps pictured here.

That's a great price, but honestly too big for my desk!

Yeah, I'm a tenkeyless kind of guy myself.

Got what I needed from Orphgan (Filco Majestouch 104 with Brown Cherries).
Thanks!
