[WTB] SKCM blue keyboard
« on: Mon, 07 August 2017, 11:45:07 »
Looking to buy an SKCM blue keyboard, one with a fairly "standard" type of layout ie ruling out things like Leading Edge 2014.

Conventional ANSI-layout blue Alps, such as the Acer KB-101A, are mega-rare.

If you own a soldering iron, you should really consider putting a "Frankenboard" together the way you really want it.

There are many others like OEMMAX, etc that aren't anywhere as rare as that 101A. I can solder/desolder, I just value my time more highly than having to go through that again. Considering these switches are often old and the joints/pins starting to oxidize, desoldering and soldering them on a donor board is just too time consuming for me. If these were new switches with no oxidization soldering to a new PCB is comparatively quick work.

How much are you looking to pay for such a board?

I never received a message.

balotz: it would really depend on the board, condition, what it came with, etc.
