Title: Dolch keyboards?
Post by: noGG on Fri, 23 March 2012, 01:26:09

Hey GH,

So recently, I've been thinking about getting myself some Dolch keycaps. However, I'm pretty new to the whole mech keyboard game and I'm not really familiar with Dolch keyboards. I've been looking through Ebay and found a couple on sale.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dolch-Computer-System-Finisar-GTX-FXPAC-PIII-1000-KeyBoard-A3-/140709531728?pt=Motherboards&hash=item20c2f11050#ht_1209wt_1189

Are those a good deal? The price does seem a bit high but from what I understand, they're pretty hard to come by and the keycaps are really ought after. Also, do both of those have doubleshot keycaps? I know the older Cherry keyboards had either doubleshot or laser printed depending on the model so I was wondering if Dolch keyboards were similar in that respect.

First one doesn't look like it is Cherry MX. 2nd one looks legit but a little pricey. Dolch is a Cherry keyboard and yes all doubleshots

Ah, I see. So I should only be looking at the PAC60-65s? And what price would y'all consider reasonable?
