Post by: ander on Tue, 29 January 2019, 20:30:58

Unicomp Ultra Classic Model M Black Spring Keyboard US APL Layout 2017 (https://www.ebay.com/itm/Unicomp-Ultra-Classic-Model-M-Black-Spring-Keyboard-US-APL-Layout-2017/143107500795)

"Like new, open box", $89.95 or Make Offer + free US shipping

So if the seller accepts, like, $70, it's a pretty nice deal on an otherwise $87 USB Ultra Classic (http://www.pckeyboard.com/page/product/UB40P4A) with a $35 APL key set (http://www.pckeyboard.com/page/product/USAPLSET) (for which you'd also have to pay shipping). You might also want to ask them if they wouldn't mind throwing in the original keys (which, unless they're a real KB geek, they'd have no use for).

Of course it's entirely possible someone here at GH is the seller, in which case they probably won't appreciate my suggesting you offer $20 less—but I am drawing attention to their sale, so my conscience is clear. Plus, I got to type a long dash just now. Woo hoo.

Yeah, they're nice. Unicomp also used to make them in the original orange (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=53420.0):

...like original IBM APL caps, but I currently see only the blue on their site. I think the blue's nicer looking, meself.
