Title: Apple M0110 $30 starting bid, $50 BIN, free shipping
Post by: nubbinator on Tue, 28 October 2014, 19:45:33

It's a fun little project board with T-Alps.  If someone bids on it, I'd be nice and let them get it at that bid.  Usually they end up overpriced when bid on.

FWIW, these come up all the time. Like 10 have sold for <$40 on ebay in the last 3 months.

They do, but most of them tend to be in the $40-60 + shipping range.  When you see one at potentially $30 shipped and definitely $50 shipped, it's a good to okay deal, depending on the price.

This reminds me that I need to get mine working. If anyone gets this and wants an extra switch or two to change the lock switch to a normal one, I've got some spares from the second board that I bought.

I need more money. I see so many things I want to buy.  Also need more time, but mostly money lol.  How hard is it to convert to something usable and how does it feel?

Comrade Sniper. If I could get two or three extra switches you'd be my hero! I've got one of these and a Mac Plus keyboard that I'm refurbing!

how does it feel?

Feels somewhat similar to an MX black except heavier, and a bit smoother (but not nearly as smooth as lubed blacks). I think the total travel distance might be shorter than MX (maybe 3.5mm like complicated alps?) but I'm not totally sure. It's also ridiculously loud :))

Travel distance is shorter than SKCM/SKCL.
