Focus FK-5001: 130-key white clicky plate-mounted Alps (not sure if complicated/simplified, believed to be complicated) keyboard with integrated, PC-independent numpad calculator. AT/XT switchable (DIP switches under logo plate, with switch settings molded into the plastic on the bottom), 5 pin DIN connector. A PS/2 adapter can be included at no extra cost if needed.

The keys are all double-shot. On this board, they are all clean and FK-5001 original keys.
This is one of two of this model that I have and am selling. The parallel listing for the other one, which does not work, can be found here:
http://geekhack.org/showthread.php?18610-Focus-FK-5001-%28white-clicky-Alps-AT-XT-DIN-and-switchable%29-the-non-working-oneThis is the one that works - that is, you can type on it, the integrated calculator works and all that good stuff. However, the switches have some issues...they probably need to be opened up and cleaned, or perhaps even replaced. This is really beyond what I want to do, especially since my interests are primarily in buckling spring keyboards, so I leave this to the new owner...just beware that you won't really be able to use it out of the box due to some switches double-firing or intermittently not firing at all.
(the guts of this and the other one have been transplanted due to the nature of the malfunction in the other keyboard - that is, the PCB, backplate and switches in this keyboard were originally in the other one's shell)
My asking price for this keyboard is
30 CAD plus actual shipping costs, to be determined.
Will ship worldwide via Canada Post.
I am not considering trades currently; what I need is money and space. For the two boards together, 40 CAD plus actual shipping costs.
I can accept PayPal, cheques/money orders and cash, but note that your payment must successfully clear out into cash form physically in my possession (e.g. PayPal to bank account, bank account to cash, or cheque to cash successfully without bouncing, or mailed cash arriving successfully)
Obviously if there's a mail strike PayPal is the only viable option.

(8s indicate all segments work - is not a malfunction, I did it intentionally)
Calculator uses one CR2032 button cell battery to operate when not connected to a computer that is running. Numpad can be switched between calculator and numpad mode.
Please feel free to ask questions. Thanks
Edit: SOLD, thank you for your interest. Deleted bump posts and closing thread.
