Anybody wanna buy a G84-4400?
« on: Thu, 10 February 2011, 10:54:38 »
Hi, I work for MovieStop, the DVD sales daughter-company of GameStop (which you've never heard of unless you live in the South-East USA).  We ordered a boatload (well, 9) of Cherry G84-4400 keyboards for a little kiosk experiment that didn't take off, and now they're just sitting here, collecting dust.

Nobody at the office wants to use them because eww they don't have a tenkey and they don't even have a windows key oh my God.

In fact the only thing I can find to object about them is the placement of the Enter key, which is vertical instead of horizontal and my pinky keeps missing it and hitting the pipe + slash button instead.  But that's neither here nor there.

I didn't think much of them until I took one home and played some games with it, which is when I discovered the wonder that is the Cherry ML switch, which these have.  They're quite lovely.  Also they have a dumb built-in trackball which you'll never use.  Unless you use it as a server keyboard in which case it's awesome.

Point is, I need to sell them.  They retail for over $120 on average, but my bossy says I can get away with selling them for $50, shipping & handling free.  Does that sound like anything anybody might be interested in?  I think our Paypal account is still active.

Anyway, there we go.  My apologies this is my first post so while I'm at it: hey guys I love mechanical keyboards!

You might want to repost this in the classifieds section, they'll eat them up over there!

if these are the trackball version, these are g84-5400, just as an FYI.
If you think it would be possible to ship one to europe, I might be interested, looking for a black 5400 for my ITX system.

The G84-4100 doesn't have the vertical enter key but the horizontal one, which i'm sure you'll enjoy more, otherwise it has a similar layout.
