idc if its doubleshots, but I've been wanting some 7x spacebar and 1.5 mods for a while. Thanks for posting this, I'll be bidding for sure.

Sadly (as an auction) it'll likely go for more, it's in great shape. I got my hopes up for naught again. sigh.

$100? There is no good reason for this to be going for so high at all. I wouldn't pay more than $40 for that. There is nothing special about it.

Someone's going to be very disappointed when they get this and realize it has MY switches :p

I realize the key caps will fit MX but I don't think the key caps alone are worth $100+

The guys over at KBDMania. I've seen plenty of their keyboards with these doubleshots with slight variations.

The 1900 is pretty rare and is a nice looking case. I can only recall seeing one here and a couple at KBD.
So for someone trying to complete their cherry board collection it is ok.
Or always rip out the MY insides and drop in a MX 1800 PCB :)

I didn't say it was a good deal…just why some collector might pay that much for it

Do they make 1800 sets now?

I have to agree....even if the doubleshots are thick they aren't worth $100.

I hope they are happy for what they paid for though.

No I didn't buy it, I just know how much the previous one of these sold for and was a lot more than this a few years back

Dolch + the addon pack fit an 1800...meaning it had the 1.75x right shift. It still would have the same profile issues for the Delete/End/PageDown/- keys. And no + key, could use a matching color but wrong profile blank and then for the 0. key had to use a matching profile but wrong color blank.


but not really. the 0. key especially makes it not
