Title: Interesting Kbd Related Finds from online Auctions
Post by: Melvang on Tue, 06 August 2013, 07:33:22
Just wanted to start a thread about interesting or odd keyboard related finds on ebay that even we would have a difficult time justifying spending that much money for even for us.  I will start with a find that i would love to spend the money on just for the caps but I know the wife would shoot it down in a heartbeat.

That looks really cool, maybe someone can do a replica set of it through SP someday?

Can this thing be modified for use as a PC keyboard?  I could totally see it on my desk for daily use :D
