Older Kinesis Contoured on ebay with doubleshot keycaps
« on: Fri, 15 July 2011, 17:32:36 »
I found this on ebay and confirmed with the seller the keycaps are doubleshots. I didn't see a picture, but he described them as having 2 colors of plastic on the underside. I have doubleshots on one of these keyboards and am not too impressed, but hey....THEY'RE DOUBLESHOTS!

Here is the listing:

Not to derail, but I'm selling basically the same board in like new condition for $100 shipped in the CONUS right now. As an aside, the caps are doubleshots, but they will not fit properly on anything but a Kinesis due to the custom key profiles they use.

I just saw your 2 Kinesis Contoured in the classifieds. I did not see them before. It looks like they both have doubleshot keycaps. I also noted the one for $50 had similar discoloration of the home row keys and lightening of the legends as my oxy project. That's the retrobright unit? Can you tell me how you cleaned case/keys so I can note it in the Kinesis oxy project?
Thanks
