That weird shaped spacebar makes me think it might be rubber dome.

I laugh at the idea of buying this just so that I can pretend to be the dumbest person on earth.

Looks like a piece of crap worth $1 that the seller is probably asking $500 for as a 'rare' 'vintage' 'collector's' 'find'.

The '6' key is on the right side, which is unusual.

Different-sized Space Bar does not indicate Rubber Dome or mechanical. Most mechanical split keyboards have some very custom-shaped space bars.

The seller is only asking for $12 in the listing.

OMG, a discount of 97.6% from 'market prices'!

Too bad it is still 1100% too expensive.

Post by: Photoelectric on Thu, 30 January 2014, 20:33:18: I don't understand the hate in this thread. Someone listed a random keyboard they had on Craigslist for $12. What's the big deal :) $12 is not going to break anyone's bank, unless they're 9 years old with a small candy budget. Yeah it's an ugly keyboard, but people sell all sorts of random junk on Craigslist and garage sales.

And people should be encouraged to sell their random junk instead of just throwing things away!
One man's junk is another man's treasure, as evidenced by our hobby. More junk in the trash means more treasure lost.

Never understand why some people treat garbage as gold, and say that others are cranky and what not when I criticize that garbage.

Sheeze. I wonder if my used toilet paper has any value. Maybe somebody will treat it as valuable also.

Arguably there are people who will think Model Fs and Kishsavers are garbage at this point--no doubt to me that most people do.

I urge everyone in the world to regard Model Fs and Kishsavers as garbage.

I also offer the great opportunity for everybody to unload said garbages on me for the cost of shipping +$1.

How's that? $1 for something with zero value, means you make an infinite % of profits.

(Wish I could get away with that.) :p

My "cost of shipping" will be $38,765.37 nad you can buy all the model Fs in the apartment.

Hmm... that begs the question. Are you producing an inflated shipping estimate as per ebay cunning seller custom, or do you really have 1,500 Model Fs in your apartment. Given that this is Dorkvader speaking, the latter is entirely possible. :p
