As per title, looking for one of these glorious puppies
-
Noone looking to sell a KMAC has to bother checking WTB threads. They can just put it up for sale and it will be gone in seconds.

Quite a few KMAC sales have been done more privately than posting an open sale in classifieds. Seems most would rather do it privately.
Best of luck with your search, h2oxide.

I bet someone would be willing to sell if you're offering 1-2k USD/ rare CCs :)
-
Cheers for the prompt replies, availability sounds terrible. Oh well, I've heard MKC* will be releasing their own alu keyboard soon. Are the rumors true? If not I may have to spend a shocking $325 on their current alu Filco case.
-
The KMAC team just released the KMAC2. Sale is already over. They only make a few hundred.
There was no opportunity for regular folks to buy it. I have asked several people point blank how I could get an opportunity to buy one, and they all ignore the question. If you aren't in the club, you're peering in from the outside.
Also, I think you may be confused. MKC is not the same as KMAC.
-
Yep, Kmac 1.2 and Kmac 2 all sold out -_-
-
Edited previous post, yes I've heard MKC are making their own alu keyboard. That'd keep me busy.
-
I actually have one aluminium key by MKC, and I've ordered an aluminium spacebar. If the spacebar is good as well I think I might pay some money for that keyboard. Until then I'm saving up :)
I'll probably never get to do be on the elitist list for those exotic keyboards, but settling for something similar but different wouldn't hurt:).
All in all I think patience(and money!) is required in this hobby of ours.

How much were the KMACs worth?

How much were the KMACs worth?
Best resale price I saw so far (and heard from a couple more "private" sales) was around $350, iirc. I'd bet a few people got them direct from Korea for cheaper, but I don't know. I'm sure someone can correct me.
-
Only 150 Kmac 2s were made, and prices for kmac 1s range from 350-450 depending on how many people you have to split the shipping cost, and whether or not it has been already assembled.
-
I believe the price for the kmac 2's in the original sale last week was $395 USD. That is the "kit", consisting of case, switch plate and PCB.

It was $340/$350 not $395...

Plus shipping to the US and it's close to $400 though.

What are the differences between a KMAC and a Typenow Solid?

Uses cherry stabz, off center stem capslock, 1.5mods and 7xspacebar(winkeyless), ect
-
I don't know about a TNS, but the KMAC keys can be fully reprogrammed to anything you want.
-
Well by the time you figure in the KMAC kit, Switches, Springs, Stabilizers, Stickers, Silicon mat, LEDs, Fancy screws, Assembly, and shipping I am well over $400 on mine before you even begin talking about keycaps. Although if the right offer came along... IDK I might consider it lol.

A few hundred? How are these not available to more people then? Maybe I underestimate the number of people willing to buy them. I'm sure regular KMACs will filter down to those on the outside when the new shiny KMAC2s start arriving.

I think it was 100 or 150 made. Not too many people like the kmac2 because of the little gold block.
-
I liked that gold block, however IIRC they changed the block color for the final KMAC II's. :sadface:

Didn't know they changed the color, Hope they made it the same color as the case
-
They did. :( I liked the gold block, however I would have used it without any blocks as I like the 85 (at least), preferably the 86 key layout. I like the idea of 1 unit windows keys since I don't need a Menu key and 1.25 other keys. Either way, I should stop threadcrapping this thread. GLWB!

Ended up purchasing a Filco alu case, thanks anyway guys

HURRY!!!
