Title: SIIG Minitouch w/ Blue Montereys
Post by: mkawa on Sun, 29 April 2012, 14:43:26
This is the same keyboard that Dangwang listed in this thread:

http://geekhack.org/showthread.php?29490-Spring-Cleaning-Part-2-Siig-Minitouch-Monterey-Blues-SP-Dark-Grey-Blanks

I just got it yesterday, used it for about 5 minutes and decided that Alps/-a-like switches just aren't for me. I've put it through _another_ cleaning and used a small bit of instamorph to fix the broken stabilizer latch. Otherwise it comes as Dangwang sold it. In particular,

Additional Info:
Used; a numerous amount of keycaps are yellowed as depicted by the images. You could get a regular Minitouch for $50, and just change the keycaps :)
Has gone through an extremely thorough full cleaning (keycaps, plate, and case)
Includes an Orange/Black SP Doubleshot "GEEK HACK" Alps keycap.
AT connection; will need a converter to use with PS/2 or USB(?)

Also, Dangwang didn't mention this, but the stabilizer on the enter key was missing when I got it. The coiled cord is nice and tight, and the case is actually very clean. Only the keys are really significantly yellowed. A nice board if you want a slightly snappier, more precise click than a cherry blue or green alps, but less noise than a buckling spring. Also, keys don't wobble.

Overall, a nice switch, but just not for me.

45 shipped CONUS

**SOLD**

I didn't even know the Enter key was missing stabalizer(s) lol...

Yeah, it really is in some vintage condition, huh?

GLWS, sorry the Monterey's didn't work out for you =/
