Title: Compaq MX 11800 (Uk eBay) MX browns? £26.50 inc postage
Post by: RabRhee on Sat, 05 October 2013, 13:48:45: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/compaq-mx81100-185152-036-trackball-mouse-keyboard-server-computer-used-W126-/310761899066?pt=UK_Computing_Laptops_EH&hash=item485ada443a

I see a few people speak very highly of these, and here's a UK one for a fairly reasonable price if anyone is interested. The guy lists it as an 81100 but the other numbers seem to tie in as a 11800 (185152-036) If it is a proper MX11800 I believe it is MX browns. You could always ask the seller for a confirmation switch photo to be sure (and providing noone else buys it in the meantime)

Thanks for posting this! :thumb:

Ditto, haha!

After half a year of lurking around geekhack I now own a Filco Majestouch 2 with mx blues, Ducky YOTS with mx blues and this Compaq MX11800.... I really did not think it would come to this.

The worest part is I am looking at getting a HHKB Pro 2 from a friend who might beable to pick me one up in china at a reasonable price... I reaaaallllyy want to try a topre and my heart is set on the hhkb as opposed to the realforce.

Ah, its not even all of the UK, if I wanted to buy it they would charge me at least $12 extra :)
