Title: Nixdork keyboard with magnet card reader
Post by: Elocutive on Tue, 28 October 2014, 07:11:34: This thing has some very expensive shipping from Germany, but it MIGHT have nixdorf soft touch switches.

$130 for a Nixdorf pcb is still a really good price.

Post by: phoenix1234 on Tue, 28 October 2014, 09:55:22: I think the risk is high because it has Wincor Nixdorf logo instead of Nixdorf.

Post by: margo baggins on Tue, 28 October 2014, 10:00:24: There is these here too, http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Wincor-Nixdorf-Cash-Register-Keyboard-w-Magnet-Card-Reader-03172939-1750023249-/321557621763?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item4ade53ec03

I don't know if these are the same ones but this one does ship to the uk and it's quite cheap - will pick one up on friday and see what's what if you want? will only cost me £40 incl delivery.

infact - it's the same seller and everything, I wonder why the top link says doesn't post to uk and this link here says it does. It's annoying as 1 hour ago I went and emptied all the money out of my bank so now I can't buy it until I get paid on friday, as ebay no accept cash :D haha.

Does it look like this? If so, it possibly has Nixdorf switches. If not, it doesn't.

Look up photos of the actual nixdorf MX ones with the keycaps still on and you will see.
