Price includes paypal and 1st class CONUS shipping.

Kinesis Keypad is White/Greyish. I am selling because I finally got an apple-compatible keypad. It hasn't been used much at all and when it was on my desk, I had switched in some PBT keys, so the stock keys should be free of wear. It's a bit creaky, but about the same as other keypads. Types great.

With this keypad, you also get a non-functioning goldtouch pad, which you can also use just to switch the casing on the kinesis to black (all you need is a small phillips  screwdriver).

Long story short, I bought a goldtouch about a year ago for my first soldering project and kind of screwed it up. It technically should work, but you just need to buy 1 new switch for it. One of the leads on it tore off, so the keypad won't work without a new working switch in its place. You could spend five bucks and experiment with it. It's missing two small screws that hold the frame together, but these should be available at home depot.

Right now it has clear stems in brown springs, so it's technically an ergo-mod, but the stems are kind of worn down. I can include a handful of extra clear stems, the original brown stems and some clear springs so you can experiment with this pad on your own. The picture of PCB is from the goldtouch. I can post an additional picture of the stems if interested, but there's a 4-picture limit per post now I guess?

It's great to be back! PM or post any questions you might have.

Hi, really really want to try just the Goldtouch with the ergo clear parts! Could you possibly sort something out for me please?

If not I'll take the lot :)

Thanks for your interest! Right now I'm trying to sell the whole lot, but if it doesn't get carted off in the next day or two, I'll break it up. If someone's interested in just the kinesis though, I can broker a fair price for you and the other buyer.

Thanks my friend :)

I should mention that I'm in the UK though, but ready and willing to not only pay the extra postage in full, but also work out the postage details for your pleasure.

I've had many keyboards shipped to me from the US in the past, no problems at all. Packages don't even need to be packed any different than for domestic as the transit method is quite good.

Would that be OK?

I'd be interested in the whole lot. First dibs to hazma of course. PM sent.

Edit: I'd take just the Kinesis as well plus the some of the springs and stems.  Maybe we can both get what we want...
