There are a few on ebay but I'm curious if a GHer has any in likely mint'ier condition.
These ones on eBay are in like new condition. I currently have 4 of them. Once you take the protective cover off, these things are mint!
-
What are the keys like and how does it feel to type on them?
-
not too bad. it's kind of okay.
-
They have ML switches, low profile keycaps. Not so nice at the beginning, depending where you are coming from, but after you get used to them, you might like them.
I have 6 of them.
-
These are nice travel boards, the keys are small which some people like. Personally I don't use these for long typing sessions. Overall it works well for my use. I usually keep one of these in my laptop bag at all times because it's so darn small. I also really like the dyesub on these caps. I didn't even know they were dyesub until after I received mine. I was only interested in finding a nice clean G84 and completely overlooked the cap type.
Also, these have an industrial grey color which is very nice.

There are some BNIB ones for 14 or so at a spot we got ecycler raiding at, if they still have a few left do you want me to grab one for you Dante?
-
I got one from the seller on ebay as well, offered $20 when they were $30 at the time, so you may be able to go lower now that they are listed at $20. They have the protective covers attached (probably since new), so once you get them off they are pretty pristine underneath. The keycaps are excellent - I hope to one day have mx keycaps with dyesub legends as crisp as these are!

For $14, I would take one =)
-
well I'll buy a few next time I go, color pref?
-
Could we do a mini group buy? I'd be up for one if they are that cheap just to try it out.
-
If they are still there I will buy the stock and sell them at cost to you guys
-
i think the beige is ppaus and the grey might be too. i can't remember exactly. were there both pad printed and dyesubbed grey versions?
-
i would be interested too. Color does not matter.
-
They had the gray/dark grey and the white/ beige ones
-
Gray/Dark Grey plzzzz
-
well we'll see if they have any left...
should have asked sooner.
-
yeah they had like 5+ in each color :(
-
You guys are scaring me with words like "had"
-
not many people seem to like them and i couldn't justify buying another one, even though the one i have is a bit yellowed and the keys are sorta shiny... trust me i debated picking some up to resell for cost every time but just decided it wasn't worth it.
-
next time I will live post from the spot :cool:
-
One of my earliest keyboards since they're inexpensive but it's a great little keyboard if you don't mind the ML switches.

I kept mine and bought another one in black. lol
-
i kind of like the ML switches (more than any alps that's for sure) and i don't feel bad about using my g84 while i eat pizza since it's pretty shiny already.
-
ML is not better than Monterey (which is isn't a real Alps but... still), not even close. :D
-
'i kind of like' DEFINITELY means 'is better than' in my case.
IMPECABLE taste.

You must pray more, my child.
