Title: 3 x Dell AT101
Post by: HoboBob on Tue, 12 April 2011, 19:02:31

Guess I'd go with my first post with a really nice sale on ebay.

I am not the seller. Was just looking for cheap alps and stumbled upon those.

http://cgi.ebay.com/3-Vintage-Dell-PS-2-PS2-Clicky-Keyboards-AT101-/140533707785?pt=PCA_Mice_Trackballs&hash=item20b8763409 (http://cgi.ebay.com/3-Vintage-Dell-PS-2-PS2-Clicky-Keyboards-AT101-/140533707785?pt=PCA_Mice_Trackballs&hash=item20b8763409)

3X Dell AT101 = 35$ + 10S&H.

No shipping to Canada makes me sad in the pants.

Enjoy!

P.S. If in some way those are not black alps, I'll feel ashamed, will not sleep tonight and will lurk some more until I find the courage to show myself again! :biggrin:

You're definitely right.

Blech, I hate it when sellers clearly don't know what they're talking about and they describle them wrong. "These are the loud clicky keyboards that they don't make anymore. Dell called these "Tactile Feedback"" These aren't clicky at all, Dell suposedly calling them that is a giveaway that the mechanism is only tactile *not* clicky.

To the uninitiated's credit, tactile ALPS is still quite noisy.

So wait, are these keyboards legit mechanical ones? I'm pretty sure the grey ones are but are the black keyboards also alps switches?

yes, they should all three be mechanical and use black alps switches.

Glad I was right haha

I would have been all over the black ones, esp. for that price. Altho US only. And I don't wanna know how much it would have cost to ship 3 boards to Canada. =(

Hoping someone here can grab 'em :thumb:

I just bought a black at101w for $5, I'm tempted to go hog wild and grab all three of these for $45!!!

Edit: If I do end up getting these, HoboBob, where in Canada are you? I might be willing to send one your way

Haha thank you.

Yeah maybe we could work something out. Hopefully the boards are in a good shape (black one plz! ^^;). The pic is not super and I did not ask for more, since he/she would only ship to the US.

Location already in profile under my name. =D   Montreal, Quebec, Canada
