Gateway 2000 Any Key on ebay

Not really a "great" price but there are certain people who really like these, and they are getting very hard to find.

These are sought after? I had no idea.

I have one in my closet.

I am not sure how large the demand might be, but they were very popular for CAD work a few years ago, and some users love the extra programmable keys. You could probably get at least $30 shipped for it.

Also, as I recall (foggy that far back), the caps are MX or Alps compatible, although I do not remember the material or quality.

From searching old Geekhack threads, AnyKeys seem to have MX-compatible doubleshot keycaps (DCS profile, made by Comptec). The earliest ones are Cherry MX white switches, but in ~1993 they switched to (nicer than average) rubber domes.

The caps on mine appear to be printed ABS, but I have the PS/2 model.
