Not cheap for a Dell AT101, that said ever since I brought out that video prices have gone up massively it seems xD .

I think I paid around $65 for mine, but it's a Winkeyless. It was worth it for all the comments I have gotten on it. One of the IT guys at my workplace said it was "crazy" when he typed on it. I told him they were linear Alps and I don't think he had a clue what I was talking about. He's just a young whippersnapper. And a woman working there was like "THAT'S SO 1980!!". I had a good laugh at that one.

'95SK / '97SK?

Also that one you posted is a rubber dome model.

Yeah, you didn't catch my goofy Americanism there. I keep thinking it's a GYUM97SK like mine when I see the pic and listing in my "AT101" search.

My GYUM97SK has the new logo with dye-sub printing (I think). It must be a rarer one since you mentioned in a post a few months ago that you hadn't acquired one yet.

I own almost all AT101 varieties, including '92SK, '95SK, '97SK and '90SK. I used to have a broken GYIAT101-102 and the rubber dome model, as well.

You can test the plastic with a drop of acetone in an inconspicuous place.
If it mars the surface of the plastic, it is ABS. If it has no effect, it is PBT.

Don't the rubber domes have an "R" at the end of the model number, as "AT101R"?

Yes.

The ones that aren't dyesub or lasered appear to use the same printing method Acer used btw, which shares quite of lot of characteristics with UV printing.

Sorry for the slight bump, but I thought paying any more than 20 quid for an AT101/102 was deemed overpriced? What makes this a good deal?

It IS overpriced, if anyone wants one from me for £40 it's a deal :p . Prices did go up a little bit recently, though.

That might be a barely reasonable stretch for a pristine black one.

Mwah, I've seen people pay more than this for black ones.

Still, for a white one this is quite a stretch, yeah xD . Someone actually asked to buy one of mine, but I didn't really feel comfortable selling something which, before I made a video about it, I would have had trouble even GIVING away xD .

Blah, I paid £20 for a pack of 4 recently, shipping included. Granted, they were in pretty battered condition, but I'm just after the switches/caps so dont really care...
