Next to Topre, these are some of the best rubber dome keyboards ever made. IMO. Keys should be PBT (or similar)

You want your items to be as attractive as possible to potential buyers.

NMBs are good? Would like to hear more if anyone has ideas to add.

NMB is space invader, right? I have one I rescued from an e-recycler. Mine is the clicky kind. I typed on it a while, and it's a decent little keyboard. I like the big ass enter key, but couldn't get used to the small backspace on it.

Thanks for the heads up, op. I bought the first one you linked. $21 shipped is not bad, and I need the parts and switches. I am surprised it was still available.

@ Pacifist, I almost pulled the trigger on that DS cherry board last night that Chemist posted. I told myself no, then 30 seconds later I reconsidered and pulled up the auction page again and it was gone. Congrats on that pick up.

It shouldn't be the space invader switches, although I wouldn't be surprised if it had them.

the switches should look like this:

Yeah, it's not mechanical, but I'm into good keyboards in general, not just keyboards with metal on metal contact switches :D
