Cherry MX8100 POS cherry brown keyboard, free shipping

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260543612299&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT#ht_500wt_975

Seller states cherry brown switches.  So far it's at $6.50 good for switch donor board.  Probably has lasered keycaps.

I've noticed double-shot keys have a huge ~, but lasered ones have a small one.

that's odd, why would we need a really big ~?

Perhaps the tilde is used commonly in POS software? I can't imagine what for though.

I think it has more to do with the stamping logistics. Just a guess though. Besides, it's not the size that matters...

Hmmm these keys could be doubleshot.  I think the keyboards with the big enter key in MX8100 line may be doubleshot, not lasered..

You can probably ask the seller for the model number. Only the MX 8100's that hyprlynk is selling have double-shot keys. As far as I know, these are the only ones with double-shot keys that have every circulated ebay.. all of the other MX 8100's are lasered.

Hmm. I have this in white; it's very useful.  Hmm.

No, no more boards.  Well, it can't hurt to watch the auction.

Right?

This is an exact match for my compax mx 11800 - thanks eunja, in for one.  If you have a mx 11800 this should match exactly as double shots..  Except for the zero button on the numpad that is..

I won this one and it arrived today. The keys are double-shot.
