TG3 cop-car keyboard, NIB, $28.94 BIN shipped or Make Offer
« on: Sat, 21 November 2015, 06:26:31 »
Since so many of you are into the TKL thing, I thought this might interest somebody:

NEW USB TG3 Electronics Keyboard w/Touchpad & Mouse Buttons KBA-nBLTA


117959-0


These have been written up on GH. They're USB and usually have Cherry MX Blacks, sometimes Clears. For a $25 offer (w/free shipping), it's pretty cheap for a new Cherry board—I've seen used ones go for more.

Those are pretty cool!  Would be great for cramped desks.

Very very tempting but I'm going to give my wallet a break.
I proxy anything including keyboards (キーボード / 鍵盤), from both Japan (日本) and China (中國). For more information, you may visit my dedicated webpage here: https://www.keyboards.es/proxying.html

Just FYI: there aren't any feet on this thing so there's 0 angle.  Anyone who buys these will probably want some rubber feet and something to raise it up a few degrees.

FWIW This is a NON-backlit model, as indicated by "nBLTA". I bought one once expecting backlit, so caveat emptor.
I trolled Geekhack and all I got was an eponymous SPOS.

Also note they are limited by 2KRO, and the keycaps are non-contoured cylindrical. Still an interesting project if you want the switches or would like to play with the rubber splashguard.

Just thought I'd mention—these are still being sold. Apparently the seller has hundreds of them.

I actually needed something just like this a day ago.  Any way to reach the seller outside of ebay?  I don't like dealing with that place.  Searches haven't resulted in anything yet.  I can always do a whois lookup, but I try not to resort to that unless there's no other leads.

Found it at https://www.pcliquidations.com/p15494-tg3-kba-nblta-keyboard, but shipping charge is additional.

Turns out pcliquidations also is the ebay seller, so they were able to match the ebay price including the free shipping.  :cool:

Yeah they are. They use MX Blacks.
