I got mine today, I'll post some pics up after dinner but first impressions are pretty good. Nice keycaps and I quite like the black switches and the matrix layout, only real problem with the board in the spacebar feels real heavy. I haven't had a chance to look at it yet but I think if it is a black switch under there, it's broken...I bet you'll find two switches. Could be worse, it could be a quad key... If you replace the double key with two singles, you'll find one doesn't do anything - otherwise you'd get two spaces every time you hit the key.
I remember a place I worked at used Access with 4unit square for the enter/total button. You had to punch that thing.

One buyer only wants the keycaps and is letting me keep the unit (to save on postage). I will donate that for "science".
Thanks fossala/hoggy, I'll post pics of the label when I get home later and I'll also check the rest of the function keys. Is there a particular model number that the programming works with?

Great! Saves me potentially trashing a perfectly good keyboard.
Just turned up and I will pack them tomorrow and take them down the post office to get weighed on Sat. Some bad news not all are 100% doubleshot from the hand full I have checked a-z are always doubleshot. Don't know how to decide who gets what, any ideas?
Anyone want to trade their F10 key for an un-doubleshot version?
Oh thanks, that'd be great! You have an excellent girlfriend!
I haven't bought or sold much here, but since joining Geekhack a few months back, I got the impression that the (sometimes unstated) convention was for the buyer to be responsible for the PayPal fee (or an additional 3%). That's how it's worked for all my transactions with Geekhackers - as a buyer or seller - regardless of whether this was made explicit. No exceptions - I just checked my PayPal account.That's what I thought but other people obviously didn't. A bit annoying as I am doing this as a favor and haven't made a single penny (actually because of paypal fees I'm about 3gbp out of pocket).

C'mon guys, let's do the right thing - it's not too late to make up the difference. Awfully kind of Fossala to do this.I was planning on doing just that. Is there a way to check with paypal how much of your money the seller will receive? I though they had a feature like that, but I didn't see it this time.

Let's hope the British international post is good :)
Fossala,Yep seems to be.
I've just got two of these boards from ebay , the one with 100% double shots has a black plug. The one with a mixture is from a later batch and has a purple plug. Does that match with your batch? if so, we could have a way of cherry picking the 100% doubleshot 'boards from the seller...
I am sorry but my girlfriend was supposed to post the boards today as I am busy with work, but she is ill. I have organised my brother to come by tomorrow to drop them down the post office. Sorry about the delay I was just not expecting to start a new job.
They are all packed up and should be in the post by midday tomorrow.
Here's the ones I'm interested in.

Keep in mind ebay.co.uk is better for this sort of thing.
What I would really like is an AKC048 to build a split keyboard from it....That's what I'm doing with mine. It's only a little longer.
If you mean something like that:Show Image(http://i.ebayimg.com/00/$(KGrHqEOKooE32)C!2duBOEc)(NUCw~~_12.JPG)

Looks nice. I'd bet the function keys on the right side aren't doubleshot, but it's likely that the rest are. If you're thinking of re-programming then it's important to check that there's a suitable template in softprog first.
Yay! Thanks for all this, Fossala.Yours was first class.
Yours was first class.
I was watching you guys, in the last few days. I wanted one Access too, but was too late. What do you intend to do with them and how is the typing experience with those keyboards ? All the keyboards I have, I use them at work or at home. Will you use them at work, for instance ?I dunno: I'm pretty accurate with my spacebar hits, so I'm sure I'll be fine with it; as far as layout goes: I fully intend on modding it to a better layout, and I'll figure out a good position fro the spacebar then. as far as in the workplace, I'm not allowed to bring in keyboards, so I can't help there.
I like the minis, I have 5 Cherry G84-4100, which I use on a daily basis. I'd like to say how much I appreciate what fossala did, a very nice and friendly job.
He's a really nice guy.
Those Access boards look colorful nice, but how good they are for a normal 9-5 work pace ? The space bar looks short and too far
to the left, for my fingers at least.
tks
Did you find the caps in the front? I got told you bought the whole (including caps) after I had packaged it.
I also found nails in them.
Hmmm, something is strange here. I don't know what happend so all I can do is apologize, I should of checked them more thoughtfully. Just checked mine and some of mine aren't doubleshot, enter, caps lock and f5.Nah, it's okay. It was said that most of the F-keys aren't usually doubleshot. I went in for the matrix layout. Doubleshot keys and NKRO are just bonuses.
One of mine doesn't work, the other one only works if connected directly to the ps2 port of the motherboard. They don't work through an ps2->usb adapter.

It should work through an ACTIVE adapter after programmed. It won't work with those dumb purple/green ones.I'm using a PS2 to USB adaptor with both a unicomp (was a gift, they got PS2 by mistake) and a WASD through an adapter at once (saves a USB port).
I bought mine for the keys and couldn't get along with the matrix layout so if someone wants another board PM me and you can have mine for however much it costs me to post it.
Haven't got anything yet.
Apparently shipping is faster from the UK to Canada than to Germany - or my keycaps got lost.
PM'd!
Can people stop pm'ing me. I don't have any left.Ha ha ha ha! I got pm's for months after selling my first batch.
On that note I may be selling a handfull of keyboards. If I decide too it will include my access and my tipro.
They turned up at my house today as "returned to sender". Don't know why, I will try and send them out again on Wednesday (my next day off work).
Got mine yesterday, thanks fossala!
But howtf did they treat these keyboards ಠ_ಠShow Image(http://i.imgur.com/wr6yq.jpg)

Any updates? Still haven't got anything :(
