Beautiful, but DAMN.

That actually seems cheap. IIRC I've seen used ones go for twice as much Oo .
-
If i had the cash I'd buy it.
I've seen these go for over 1k used
-
It's not ANSI though..

ANSI maybe...certainly not an ISO model like HAMDE or HAMPO. Personally I've never seen an ANSI 5000 go over 1k even NIB.
If I didn't hate ISO and QWERTZ layout so much I'd be picking this up.

Ah didn't realize the iso dropped it so much.
Maybe i was mistaken though, but could have sworn a member talking about buying a used one for close to 1.2k

Purely a collectors item. You can get B-Stock VE.A for less if you wanted to use something like this.
I'm looking for one just as a collectors item but there's no fun in paying market prices for such items. I want to finds one and get it cheap, that's the quest!
Getting this for 500€ is like using an in-game purchase to unlock something in video game ...

Man, it's great to hate ANSI I guess xD .

Yeah, tell that to Ubisoft.

The VE.A, while beautiful, looks incredibly uncomfortable in comparison to the 5000. The 5000 is still my favourite MX keyboard of all time I think.

And it's been sold already.

As a collector,I won't get B-stock or non-mint condition.Also,the 5000 is far better than the VE.A :D

That's why I said this is purely a collector's item. People who are looking for an MX5000 to use it would be wasting their money and a great investment ;)

I'm the biggest hoarder out there, but I used my MX5000 as a daily driver for well over a year.
I wouldn't ever recommend that someone buy this keyboard and then not use it. All you need to do to the NIB board is lube/clip the stabilisers and you've got the best MX keyboard out there.

No need to pay the markup for a NIB then. You can completely refusbish a used MX5000 and use that ...
Just have to find one :)

How much is refusbish one? If it's ANSI.
-
I'll only be looking and finding ISO versions of this and hope for a 5€ recycler find :)
