Title: Help me id this...?
Post by: Ethaniel on Wed, 19 September 2012, 01:34:12

It appeared recently in my "local eBay". Absolutely no data, and the guy selling it is asking a fortune. Looks like something out of the Cherry G80 series...

I'm happy with my recently acquired MX-11800 but, I keep coming back to that pic...

It's not a eBay link, and I don't think the guy'll do international shipping, but, here. http://goo.gl/hble7 (http://goo.gl/hble7)

The keyboard itself, plus the trackball thingy would not cost that much, but if the rack-mountable tray is included it could, at a stretch, cost what he is asking for it.

Consider the sellers reputation.

I'm not sure that's cherry. They do exist, but "bigass" enter keys are less common on cherry keyboards, and the right sido of the spacebar-row is a little different. It's also missing a lot of keys that the narrower-cherry keyboards have:

I don't think it's worth buying at that price.

Edit: Just noticed the .ar TLD. $450 argentinean pesos is only $95. Still not worth it, but better.

Looks like a qtronix 1800 knock off. Usually has Taiwan white MX copies. It's probably worth like $20 maybe.
