Title: TG3 cop-car keyboard, NIB, $28.94 BIN shipped or Make Offer
Post by: ander on Sat, 21 November 2015, 06:26:31
Since so many of you are into the TKL thing, I thought this might interest somebody:

NEW USB TG3 Electronics Keyboard w/Touchpad & Mouse Buttons KBA-nBLTA (http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-USB-TG3-Electronics-Keyboard-w-Touchpad-Mouse-Buttons-KBA-nBLTA-Kiosk-Mame-/121266006222)

These have been written up on GH. They're USB and usually have Cherry MX Blacks, sometimes Clears. For a $25 offer (w/free shipping), it's pretty cheap for a new Cherry board—I've seen used ones go for more.

Those are pretty cool!  Would be great for cramped desks.

Very very tempting but I'm going to give my wallet a break.

Just FYI: there aren't any feet on this thing so there's 0 angle.  Anyone who buys these will probably want some rubber feet and something to raise it up a few degrees.

FWIW This is a NON-backlit model, as indicated by "nBLTA". I bought one once expecting backlit, so caveat emptor.

Also note they are limited by 2KRO, and the keycaps are non-contoured cylindrical. Still an interesting project if you want the switches or would like to play with the rubber splashguard.

Just thought I'd mention—these are still being sold (http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-USB-TG3-Electronics-Keyboard-w-Touchpad-Mouse-Buttons-KBA-nBLTA-Kiosk-Mame/121266006222). Apparently the seller has hundreds of them.

I actually needed something just like this a day ago.  Any way to reach the seller outside of ebay?  I don't like dealing with that place.  Searches haven't resulted in anything yet.  I can always do a whois lookup, but I try not to resort to that unless there's no other leads.

Found it at https://www.pcliquidations.com/p15494-tg3-kba-nblta-keyboard, but shipping charge is additional.

Turns out pcliquidations also is the ebay seller, so they were able to match the ebay price including the free shipping.  :cool:
