Title: 122 key black Unicomps
Post by: berserkfan on Tue, 28 April 2015, 08:42:01

Since most sellers will accept 25%-33% discounts, You can probably get these for $80 shipped. Who can complain at such prices?

(Note, Orihalcon is selling NEW 122 keys at under $40 shipped and his are guaranteed tested by a reputable geekhacker. These ebay boards are for people's projects and I recommend all noobs to buy from Orihalcon. Remember guys, once samwisekoi is done with his GH122 project there will be a mad rush for casings!)

My understanding is that these particular M122 cases are not suitable as replacement cases for F122s, although other M122 cases may be?

First-generation M-122 cases (with the large legs) fit the F-122 with just snipping off about 4 little corners of plastic tabs perhaps 5mm square each.

Later M-122 cases (square badge right) take maybe a dozen minor trims. I think it was wcass who posted the guide.
