Title: Compaq Branded Cherry G80-11800
Post by: nubbinator on Wed, 17 July 2013, 17:34:02: Starting bid is a hair under $35 shipped (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Compaq-MX11800-Cherry-PS-2-Keyboard-With-Trackball-Mouse-/190871018141?pt=PCA_Mice_Trackballs&hash=item2c70cc9a9d).

It uses MX Browns and, based on the fact that it has homing dots, not bars, it should be thick lasered PBT.

Not too sure but it would make for an awesome laptop keyboard seeing that it has the trackball (assuming it works)... Fudge... If only I had $50 to waste I would snag this, or at least try to.

Edit: OOO, It just went up!

PCB mounted which mean hot swapping switches, Cherry Brown, under $50. It's pretty dayum good deal, if you ask me. But I don't know the value of this thing.

At least you tried! You're a better man than I, good sir. Oh well, it hit above $50. I'm done here :P

Edit: $39 + shipping. Nice! Not too sure on value but I bet that was a good deal.

Post by: IvanIvanovich on Tue, 23 July 2013, 16:55:35: These come up for cheap quite often. The only thing is they are not often listed as G80 11800, 185152-001, 186591-001 or anything else meaningful and you have to wade through the sea of Compaq crap domes boards to find them for super cheap.
