Title: Fullsize Keyboard for those with limited desk width
Post by: berserkfan on Thu, 22 January 2015, 02:10:54

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mechanical-PS-2-Wired-Keyboard-Used-/371241046722?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item566fb0d2c2

Right now the price is still attractive, at $23 shipped.

If I am not wrong, this is a Cherry Blacks keyboard originally meant for financial sector use. It should be pretty good quality. Back when I was still looking for different layouts, this looked nice but the only listings I ever saw were $99 and up.

Be aware that the board may be fairly old - take note of the ps2 cable. Spacebar looks like 5x. Keycaps look like SP doubleshots to me.

I urge only real buyers to bid. Get it, take it apart, post the obligatory porn and review please.  Would hate for such an interesting board to get stripped for the switches only. [Hint: SpamRay keep your solder-burnt paws off this beauty!]

What's wrong with the O key?
