I love that my invoice for my Das II back in 2006 says $89.

one of the best-looking KBs ever. I believe these have MX blue, but they might also have brown. (I think DAS opened up the "silent" option after they switched to costar but I don't know for sure)

I want to get a replacement G80-3000 PCB and an abostudio top case to pair with these keycaps.

All the II's were MX Blue with POM keycaps I do believe. The III line is when they added the "silent" option.

Ok I thought that was the case, that they only added browns when they switched to costar but wasn't 100%.

So It'll have MX blues and thick blank cherry POM.

Blues with 6KRO, blank thick POMS. This one and the 349* are pretty much the top of the 3000 family.

Seller must be factoring in inflation and storage costs.  :))

But it's my grail keyset and the keyboard I designed my KMAC around!  There are none more black!

If this had a box I could not resist.  I'm a sucker for packaging.

Yay!

Though I'm kind of sad at the same time.  I was about to get something started to try and get it so we could get it to Photekq since it's one on his list.

Sorry about that :/

At least we'll be keeping it in the GH family! Hope you'll find him another set if it ever pops up again.
