Title: Is this old DATATECH SPK-100 Keyboard worth anything?
Post by: Madoa on Wed, 17 September 2014, 00:44:45

Hi, I'm new here. I found this old keyboard that I threw up on eBay. There is literally nothing on the internet about this keyboard so I'm hoping that it's worth a lot  ;D.

Well, you're actually on a good path.

Looks like Blue ALPS switches, which are coveted. 

Also has some interesting keycaps-- clearly double shot, but that 1.75x Ctrl could be worth a little extra to someone.

Blue Alps? It’s totally worthless. You should just mail the keyboard to me.

Very cool, I wasn't expecting to get much. What a pleasant surprise.

You could always ask in the price check thread. (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=31779.0)

sweet metal back panel as well.

Blue alps + good construction = winner for sure. Maybe not as good as legendary northgate quality, but I would say it's worth something.

I would get someone to proxy this to me but they would just steal it instead and refund me
