Title: Focus FK-9000
Post by: IvanIvanovich on Mon, 12 November 2012, 18:33:26: $40 BIN Focus FK-9000 (http://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-KEY-PRO-KEYBOARD-Double-molded-keytops-/290811050324?pt=PCA_Mice_Trackballs&hash=item43b5b07954), appears to be in very good shape too.

That's actually pretty good.

Ncbound again. He has some good stuff! I notice that (unfortunately) not all the segments of the calculator display function, so I'll have to pass. This is an awesome KB though, and I do believe a good price, too. These are white ALPS, right?

I've purchased 3 boards from nc bound in the past...all alps boards. If the board or switches suck, he doesn't sell them. The stuff he sells is all in very good condition.

Can someone say "rip-off shipping price"?

Post by: esoomenona on Mon, 19 November 2012, 23:38:21: Difference between this and FK-8000? The far left keys?
Title: Re: Focus FK-9000
Post by: Hak Foo on Tue, 20 November 2012, 00:10:35: The 9000's left keys are programmable. Also note the arrow block is 8-way instead of 4-way. I have one I never cleaned up because it begs for a controller swap so you can do something modern with those left keys and also no longer need the impossible-to-affordably-replace battery.

Thanks. About how much is a battery...?
