Just got this vintage keyboard a couple of days ago. It is in good condition and the key caps are not shiny at all.

What tenkeyless board would require an F30 then?

You've been on a roll lately! I like the other NCR board you have much more though.

Seems like a nice board, even to me that's not too familiar with all these vintage keyboards.

The big question here is if that Control key is center or off-center stemmed? :P

It's a centered stem. Always centered if full touch as far as I have seen on G80.

That's what I thought. Seems kind of logical! Thanks.

Center stemmed C row Control for $160 + shipping. And you get one nice keyboard too!

Also, if you didnt notice the NCR doubleshots are a bit different colors than the standard black on white/beige. The legends are more of a dark grey color.
Spotted an NCR 3000 on taobao too, but the price is outrageous like $1000. LOLWUT. It's a nice board but not that nice.

As lysol figured out, I got this board for about $160, and I‘ve tested it on my Window7, it works well.

Easy lysol, that ¥9999 NCR 3000 is just there for an exhibition, as told by the seller ;-D, and the board was sold loooong time ago, of course not for this price.

That arrow cluster is so bizarre.
It looks pretty standard to me, especially for an older keyboard. You're just used to the IBM Enhanced layout.

This is a nice keyboard! I especially like the function key spacing, the less common large cherry enterkey, and the interesting bottom row of the tenkey. Since you are using it, is it AT or PS2 or what?

Oh, and is that a 10-unit spacebar? Nice.

It supports XT and AT, but the ex-owner replaced the original cable with a PS/2 one ;-(

Here's a pic from DT of the big ass enter key, I think this may show what you are interested in, and then I don't have to use my poor HTC Desire to photograph ;-p

Thanks, sucks that the standard they use for the big ass enter on the Steelseries 7G is different from cherry keycaps. Guess I'll never put cherry double shots on it.
