There was one person ahead of me, but if that falls through, I can guarantee the sale.  Don't worry, though.  If I buy it, and I like it, there might be some really tasty treats available in the Classifieds.

I have a ton of stuff on order from Japan and China.  As it comes in, I am trying them out and them passing them on to you guys at a "slight" savings.  :)

Anyways, this has been sold.  And, might I add, someone needs to make these more available in North America...because I certainly had my share of offers...I think I doubled my inbox size with just inquiries about this 'board.

Great 'board.  Totally useless on a Mac.  And I use Macs daily.

How is it useless on a mac? It should work just as any other keyboard does. Am I missing something?

Yes, you are missing something.  :)

I have no idea WHY it is useless on a Mac...all I can tell you is that it simply does not function correctly.  It is quite amazing actually.  Keys registering as other characters, space bar doesn't register at all...total fail.

Works just fine out of the box with Linux and Windows.

You just got it, why are you selling it and all these other boards :P Are you giving up on us oh mighty GeekHacker?
This is common behavior among GHers...especially those that don't fancy themselves collectors.  Gorge on keyboards with mass purchases...Enjoy...Purge yourself of those keyboards.  Repeat.

I call it "keyboard bulimia".

Really? That's totally weird. Might be the first keyboard I've ever seen do that, other than my kinesis doing that, but a hardware reset on the keyboard took care of that.

Maybe it's a weird controller issue, lack of driver, or some other apple related issue. Now I want one to play with on a mac, to try and figure out what's going wrong...

This.  I don't want to deal with buying services, so when this one came up for sale, I jumped on it.  Unfortunately, I jumped too late, but these do need to become more available in the US.

Someone said that it tries to show up as 3 separate usb keyboards in order to get more than 6 key rollover, and the mac isn't playing nice with this. No clue for sure though, I didn't pick one up myself.

BLADADSREHR!##$ @%@#%

I have been lurking extensively this past two weeks at work for one of these boards to come up, but today I had a dentist appointment this morning and was not able to check the classifieds as I normally would.

If anyone else is thinking about parting with there Choco PM me, I will pay a premium to not deal with a geekhacker in place of an oversea purchasing service.

In fact I should probably just make a classified add regarding this.

I possibly now may fall under the classification as an anti-dentite.

Maybe have a geekhack broker between you and the overseas broker.  :)

Working with obook is pretty easy...and my items were received quickly.

It definitely looks like a driver issue. I've written some drivers in the past, though they were BSD rather than Mach, but there isn't *that* much difference between them.

It might even be possible to make use of the one that works in FreeBSD (assuming it does).
