I haven't bothered contacting the seller, but as far as I can tell they do not offer international shipping.

Cheers, I'll try and nab it

What switches is that supposed to use?

I believe they are all MX blacks: http://deskthority.net/wiki/Alcatel_MMK_Keyboard

Although the most interesting thing about this board is the all the windowed keycaps - f-row, lock keys, etc. - which are not very common in cherry boards.

So how do you drive this thing from USB?

So how do you drive this thing from USB?

You don't.. It's wanted for its keycaps and for the switches.

Sweet, I am in London so I can collect

[Photekq]

Not sure it's worth much since the caps are probably shiny, odd layout etc. and since it uses black switches that are worth about $0.25 each when desoldered. I definitely won't be bidding very high on it, so you'll probably get it longweight

[longweight]

For £2.95?

Congrats whoever got it I decided not to bid in the end

Ha! I left it because I figured you had bagged it. But yeah the high postage made it less of a bargain really.

Whoever got it it was a great deal postage or not. Even though the board has some funny keys that won't work elsewhere, you get a industrial grey/white doubleshot alpha set at the very least and lot of black switch. It's still one of my favorite colorways... I hope someday we can have a groupbuy for it and it actually make to MOQ so it can be made.
