Dell AT102W help
« on: Thu, 19 March 2020, 13:05:35 »
What would be a good price for a fresh out of the box AT102W?
Seen prices for £30 for used so wasn't sure what people would think about a unused AT102W.
Thank you!

I would scoop up a NIB AT102W for 30 in a heart beat. I haven't owned one myself, but, from what I've heard/read, they're one of the best entry Alps boards on the market (pretty easy to get your hands on, too).

Does the listing tell you exactly which switch is in there? iirc some are rubber dome, so that's something I'd watch out for.

Waiting back on a reply from the seller for more pictures, should have them later tonight (UK).
The board is completely unused!

AT101R/AT102R are the rubber dome variants. From my experience they are pretty rare.

How much is he asking your? Even if it's NIB, this keyboard is just very very very basic, so there should be small gap between NIB and used but good cont one. So about 35 I guess?

That is a decent price, but you know that AT102W is ISO layout, right?
AT101W is ANSI.

AT101W is ANSI.

I am UK based so ISO is preferred since I'm used to that. NIB, ISO and Win key so seems like a overall win for £40 ~ $46 (Postage included)
Thank you for the help since when the seller gets back to me I will most likely be purchasing.
Yes the keyboard is old however I love the style, look and quality of them that you can't seem to get for a decent price anymore. For anyone wondering the exact model of this board is;

Yeah 40 shipping included should be fine, the cheapest option I can think of for shipping is collect + which is already £4 because it is a big boi.
