Very nice find, BlueBär. I'm sure there are plenty of users on GH that will be interested in this rare keyboard.

I was pretty sure that it is rare since you barely see those ergo designs on Cherry manufactured keyboards. I would only be interested in the caps and the superblacks it has (I think?) so I thought that would be a bit of a waste. How rare is it in terms of how much would people pay for it? Three digits?
Dang ISO.... :(
Don't worry, even though the enter key is that big its not gonna bite ;D

Still in for proxying? I'd take it if it goes for cheap (like $75 maybe)

Sure! If you want additional security (since I'm still under 60 posts) I'm sure we can figure something out.

You didn't try the one that Deepthawt brought to the Chicago meetup? That's how I know I need one in my life :D

If you're really interested The_Beast I won't go after it since you guys definitely saw it before me, but I do need an ISO one so I can use my extra PCB to make it into ANSI, I just haven't found a cheap one yet, most of the ISO MX5000 have been quite expensive

If not then I would definitely be interested

I'm sorry but I will have to take the proxy offer back. Since I still live with my parents and usually am at uni when the packages arrive here, they would have to accept it, and they strictly deny it and I can't convince them that I won't get scammed somehow... :blank:
Maybe you can try to ask the seller if he can ship internationally? If it really doesn't work I could try to figure something out.

Oh and I think it's amazing how you guys are so polite with each other.

I was going to try and grab this. But then two threads were made for it, and another couple threads with links. At 66€ now, I think I'll let you all at it :)
I don't think it'll go for my 100€ hopes.
