This custom keyboard has stunning double-shot Cherry numpad keys

I always thought it was stupid that Cherry only put doubleshots in the numpad

My favorite part is the caps to the right of the "Insert" key. He stripped off the two relegendable covers hahaha.

Another gem from the description:

Quote
The rest of the key cap set is a beautifully designed and matching laser-etched key set with media labels and a great typeset. It also has red ASDW arrow keys and features Full N-Key rollover--all of this adds up to an incredibly accurate and comfortable gaming keyboard.

I can't tell you how many times I've had to stop to process transactions manually while gaming. This keyboard is going to take me to a whole new level :thumb:

There is nothing wrong about the keyboard. Seller is just very thick skinned to put cheapo CM keycaps on a G80 that isn't suitable for gaming, and claim it's great.

What is wrong is the person who will pay $199 for it.

That said, we haven't heard from Mandolin in a long time. Looks like he has a successor.

I had the NIB doubleshots on it though.

That's interesting. So you gamed for a while using NIB doubleshots. Did you game inside a huge box, so that you could keep these legally defined as NIB?

I think it's high time I cashed in with my collection of Model Fs. I'm sure there are some Beethoven Crystals, Schubert crystals inside them if Mandolin can find Violoncello Crystals and Guitar crystals inside his. Some of my crystals might have been forged inside the bowels of the earth and spat outside using volcanoes as the Earth's diarrhoea, who knows.

The PS/2 POS boards have diodes. It even says it in the listing.

I have also recently desoldered several of these.

I just opened this post, clicked the link and WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just had to send him a message, and here it is, I just copy/paste it:




-This is what I wrote-

First of all the same POS board can be found NIB with all original GMK double shots caps for 80-100 bucks shipped. You stripped the caps by the looks you used it either on 60% board or TKL, and by the looks you used it on CM QFR board and but the CM boards cap on the Cherry board....

To top it all  like icing on the cake you have used board, incomplete keycaps and asking $200 for it?

You dude are a greedy man who think that can give a shaft to an unknown buyer by fooling him selling him barely $30 worth of board for $200.

You should know better that person that will go for a board like this is a person with knowledge that either wants to harvest the caps or the stems...

Your disappointment for the humanity, we wish you were never born LOL

Does this technically qualify for a report to eBay for inaccurate / misleading description?  Considering he's neglecting to explicitly state that the board has parts on it swapped from a lower quality counterpart by a different brand?

Nope, because he states in the description that they are replaced and that only the numpad and enter are original. I only viewed it just now, and I don't know if he changed this recently based on a barrage of messages from here recently, but he appears to mention it in the description.

Edit:
Quote
This custom keyboard has stunning double-shot Cherry numpad keys, along with a few others (enter for example).
I love how he says "for example", implying there are more of them. Those are pretty much the only ones.

Quote
As you can obviously see, this is no longer a stock G80-8113HRBUS-2. The double-shot keys are all original and the laser etched caps come from a CM Storm Quick Fire. I purchased the Windows and space bar caps separately. The clear covers can also be completely removed like those in the top right row. The matching black ASDW key caps will also be included.

This guy may be a scumbag, but he's pretty good with his words. Just like Mandolin was. Selling **** from his backside as a kind of refined and exclusive fertilizer that nobody else in the world has (since everybody's **** is uniquely stamped with his own intestinal biofauna, and of course **** is refined and processed food).

You gotta hand it to those scammers. They really know how to talk. I couldn't do stuff like this even if my life depended on it.

"This custom keyboard has stunning double-shot Cherry numpad keys, along with a few others (enter for example)." Whew. If i could sell that well, I would be a billionaire by now.

Heh, I think I'm going to list my own G80 for half that price. Anybody wants?

i dunno.

it's not like the seller accidentally tried to scam somebody.  when you put a description like the OG, it's definitely intentional. he just got caught that's all.  does somebody have to be ****ed over before we admit that he's a scammer?


ps2, so it's nkey rollover?
Title: Re: Joke - Check out this Cherry board and tell me what's wrong with it
Post by: damorgue on Sat, 08 February 2014, 02:41:03
I think even with the old description, he probably mentioned it although even more hidden so that he would win a dispute. It has cherry doubleshots, just like the title says. He probably never stated that it was all doubleshot, the buyer assumed that etc. I think he had probably written it is such a way that his ass was covered in the case of a dispute.

Hahaha, it's funny.  :))
But it's even funnier if you remove the last clause, IMO.

ps2, so it's nkey rollover?

A lot of boards will have NKRO when it's in PS2 mode.
However, not all PS2 board will have NKRO, at least I can confirm with my TG3-BL82 and Cherry G80-1800, only 2KRO over PS2.

Well, that's what, ~110 MX brown switches + doubleshot keycaps for most of a numpad + some relegendable keycaps + a card swiper + a couple of microswitches. Maybe not worth $50, but not completely useless either.

Considering I got my 8113 for $25(http://www.ebay.com/itm/141197443553?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649)
and dorkvader got two for $40 shipped, this is a huge rip off. The main good thing about a 8113 is the double shot keys, which this person pretty much removed all of. The few still there aren't really worth it. If buying this board for parts, you can maximize your profits more on a different board.

Well, that's what, ~110 MX brown switches + doubleshot keycaps for most of a numpad + some relegendable keycaps + a card swiper + a couple of microswitches. Maybe not worth $50, but not completely useless either.

Considering I got my 8113 for $25(http://www.ebay.com/itm/141197443553?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649)
and dorkvader got two for $40 shipped, this is a huge rip off. The main good thing about a 8113 is the double shot keys, which this person pretty much removed all of. The few still there aren't really worth it. If buying this board for parts, you can maximize your profits more on a different board.

never underestimate stupidity

I wonder if a geekhack member bought it.

I think most people on this forum know better (I hope).

Still, for $50shipped, that's a high but not totally outrageous price for 120 brown switches. These were in shortage some months ago and the buyer may not have known that browns are no longer in shortage.

Im not so sure: Keep in mind most of my ebay finds are priced well below the average. I spend some time hunting around for deals, and snap them up when I see. I also got a model F 122 for $35, and a TG3 BL82 for $10 shipped. Does this mean that a model F 122 for $50 is a ripoff? of course not.

These keyboards are worth that for the switches and it would make a decent gaming KB as it does have NKRO. I think the buyer got a good deal on this. Just not good enough for me to have bid.
