Title: Thinking about buying a custom ACCESS-IS board.
Post by: Inf3rn0_44 on Sun, 01 January 2012, 20:31:46

I saw this picture some where on GH and I was instantly memorized. I have been yearning for this type of layout for so long. Here is the picture.

I was wondering about the cost of these boards and I assume they are NKRO over PS/2. So matrix + NKRO = heaven for games imo. Anyone else have these type of boards?

Nkro over ps2.  5kro via blue cube adaptor.  You can find them on eBay UK every now and again.

I paid 20 pounds for the one in the photo.

I have one available, since I never got around to using mine much. Price is 35€ without caps. Plus shipping.

greetings,
Chris

Ascaii, do you have any AKC048 ones, or know where to get them? I've been wanting a pair of those!

You can download the software to program the keyboard for free.  Just search for softprog on their website.  I've got that template somewhere if you want it.

My board is identical to the one hoggy posted, he bought me an extra when he found his on ebay and shipped it to me.

I asked the Access-IS guys for a quote. I'd be interested in 2 AKC048 if the split ergo group buy doesn't take off. Here's his response:

Sorry about the delay, I have taken a few days off work. The unit price for the AKC048 is £129 (based on an order for 10 pieces. The delivery cost is £13.50 for 10 pieces (UK Mainland).

Thanks! Wow, it's too expensive, it's like $400 USD to make a split keyboard. Can't they give a cheaper price if we don't require any customization?
Anyway, guess we need to keep watching eBay :-(

I even contacted Access IS and they said they had a min order policy of 10 keyboards and each cost a whopping $250 each! Crazy prices

If you think that's crazy, try asking Desko the same question...
