Hi, I work for MovieStop, the DVD sales daughter-company of GameStop (which you've never heard of unless you live in the South-East USA). We ordered a boatload (well, 9) of Cherry G84-4400 keyboards for a little kiosk experiment that didn't take off, and now they're just sitting here, collecting dust.
Nobody at the office wants to use them because eww they don't have a tenkey and they don't even have a windows key oh my God.
In fact the only thing I can find to object about them is the placement of the Enter key, which is vertical instead of horizontal and my pinky keeps missing it and hitting the pipe + slash button instead. But that's neither here nor there.
I didn't think much of them until I took one home and played some games with it, which is when I discovered the wonder that is the Cherry ML switch, which these have. They're quite lovely. Also they have a dumb built-in trackball which you'll never use. Unless you use it as a server keyboard in which case it's awesome.
Point is, I need to sell them. They retail for over $120 on average, but my bossy says I can get away with selling them for $50, shipping & handling free. Does that sound like anything anybody might be interested in? I think our Paypal account is still active.
Anyway, there we go. My apologies this is my first post so while I'm at it: hey guys I love mechanical keyboards!

You might want to repost this in the classifieds section, they'll eat them up over there!

Whoops! Okay, thanks! I'm on my way!

if these are the trackball version, these are g84-5400, just as an FYI.
If you think it would be possible to ship one to europe, I might be interested, looking for a black 5400 for my ITX system.

The G84-4100 doesn't have the vertical enter key but the horizontal one, which i'm sure you'll enjoy more, otherwise it has a similar layout.
