You want your items to be as attractive as possible to potential buyers.
"However, even though I was born in the Mesozoic, I do know what anyone who wants to reach out to young people should say: Billionaires took your money. They took your chance to buy a home. They took your chance at a good education. They stole your opportunities. Billionaires took the things you want in life. If you really want those things, you have to take them back.
That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.
Late-stage capitalism is a wealth-concentration engine, focused on vacuuming up every dollar and putting it in as few hands as possible. Republicans are helping that vacuum suck.
How does a tiny fraction of the population get away with this? They do it by dividing the other 99% of Americans against themselves."

NMBs are good? Would like to hear more if anyone has ideas to add.
Most of the modding can be done on your own once you break through the psychological barriers.

NMB is space invader, right? I have one I rescued from an e-recycler. Mine is the clicky kind. I typed on it a while, and it's a decent little keyboard. I like the big ass enter key, but couldn't get used to the small backspace on it.

Thanks for the heads up, op. I bought the first one you linked. $21 shipped is not bad, and I need the parts and switches. I am surprised it was still available.

@ Pacifist, I almost pulled the trigger on that DS cherry board last night that Chemist posted. I told myself no, then 30 seconds later I reconsidered and pulled up the auction page again and it was gone. Congrats on that pick up.
I stay busy with work and family these days, but I'm still around, lurking.

It shouldn't be the space invader switches, although I wouldn't be surprised if it had them.

the switches should look like this:


Yeah, it's not mechanical, but I'm into good keyboards in general, not just keyboards with metal on metal contact switches :D
