$45 a piece, someone should talk them down quite a bit.

They might have Cherry switches by the looks of the keys,

There is an extensive review of it here.
It has Cherry black switches, relegendable keycaps: normal and wide, comes with a key cap puller and is completely programmable. USB and PS/2 with passthrough.

I bought one last week for a bit less than $45 just because I wanted to try out Cherry black switches. I thought that I would sell it on with blues + double-shots here for $45.. but I guess that I could ask for more. :-D

what's $2,565 divided by 56?
I don't have a calculator on me

Were it not stated just above, I would have reminded you of calc.exe

about $45 a pop

I'd be in if it were lower. I still don't have a numpad (that I don't require either, apparently).

that's a lotta dimp.

Infinite north · « **Reply #9 on:** Sun, 01 August 2010, 14:31:58 »

Well, I imagine that the number could be talked down quite a bit since it's a bulk sale.

stickemup · « **Reply #10 on:** Sun, 01 August 2010, 15:10:49 »

I wonder why he doesn't change the sale and sell the lot as individual items, like our hong kong seller moving the G80-3494 boards.

If they're an actual cherry switch (brown or blue) I'd be down for this.

I'd love a cherry pad... would help me realize the dream of sawing off my mx11900 and putting the trackball between the arrow cluster and the num pad.

EverythingIBM · « **Reply #12 on:** Wed, 04 August 2010, 01:33:53 »

iMav can buy them and rebrand them as "geekpads". For tenkeyless or something...

Infinite north · « **Reply #13 on:** Tue, 10 August 2010, 14:52:45 »

Now listing 24 of them at the same price per unit.

EverythingIBM · « **Reply #14 on:** Tue, 10 August 2010, 20:50:53 »

I don't think anyone is going to buy those.
$1080 huh? That's a high definition price.

Infinite north · « **Reply #15 on:** Tue, 10 August 2010, 21:58:22 »

So originally i really had no interest in dealing with 50+ units but if I am able to talk him down to around $20+shipping a piece who would be interested in one?

Remember these are completely programmable, with cherry black switches.

JBert · « **Reply #16 on:** Wed, 11 August 2010, 15:24:35 »

I could use two to throw in a new controller and make a ghetto split keyboard. Just $20 would be awesome, maybe could even buy a spare set that way!

I was tempted but the PS/2 part killed it for me. USB keypads make more sense to me.

Not if you're using a USB keyboard & mouse. Then you'll have a spare PS/2 port! I always use my PS/2 ports, I feel they have to be used if present.
