Title: Somebody Buy Manyaks Black Dell AT101W and Blue Monterey Chicony
Post by: kidchunks on Mon, 13 December 2010, 17:26:09

I saw it there for awhile but didn't know if it was good. Glad you mentioned it! I don't think he will sell me the Chicony though, I don't have an account with OCN.

Update:
Just registered one and I guess you have to post a few before they allow you to send PMs. Posted I'll take the board, hopefully he replies.

Great price on the Chicony, someone needs to buy that sleeper. AT101 as well, but the Chicony for sure.

Nobody bought the board with Monterey switches yet?  Come on, people!  You can't let it fall into the hands of some prepubescent gamer on OCN!  Even as a total cheap-ass, I would be buying it, if only I didn't have to buy any Christmas gifts this year.

I just bought the Dell.  $10 keyboard, $15 shipping - not bad.  Tried posting on OCN, but Manyak has an account on GeekHack so you can just PM him here.

Thanks for the help ripster :)

I should point out that the Chicony has a missing pin on one of the switches. Right now it's on the Esc key, but I do have the soldering skills to move it to Scroll Lock or some other unused key of your choice, and I will guarantee my work. I might even be able to fix the switch by soldering on a piece of a paperclip or something.

Yup that pretty much sums it up. IMO it's definitely worth trying though.
