UPDATE 9/30 - all items sold.  Thanks for reading.

Whatsup geekhackers.  I'm selling the following:

1) Siig Minitouch KB 1903 (white alps) made in china.  EDIT- No longer for sale, this keyboard I have found to be somewhat smokey smelling

2) Siig Minitouch KB 1903 (monterey blue switches) made in taiwan. Switch is clicky monterey blue switches.  Condition:  used, very good condition.  I have repaired two of the switches with donor switches from a brand new Chicony KB 5181 keyboard.  Includes AT to PS2 adapter. Price Dropped to $120 (free shipping to the US).




3)  SMK-88 blue cherry keyboard.  Originally owned by imav.  Condition: used, excellent condition, comes with geekhack escape key.  Actually, the original escape key is probably somewhere in imav's house, I never got it with the original board!  Almost Noopoo layout, except for media keys on the left side and mac like layout.  Sold to Brian8bit


4) Chicony KB-5181 missing 2 switches.  Condition, new except for switches I took out to repair my siig kb 1903 monterey switches.  This would be a great board to refubish your siig KB 1903 monterey switches with (if you want a whole set of new switches, this is your board).  It also works as a keyboard with 2 keys missing.  Includes AT to PS2 adapter. Price: (EDIT SOLD)  


All items shipped from northern california area code 94506.
I guestimate shipping would be $10 for each minitouch, about $15 for the SMK and the chicony, shipped to US.

noob question - why does the SMK have 2 usb connectors?

noob question - why does the SMK have 2 usb connectors?

My guess is one is for keyboard input and the other is to power the USB port on the side of the keyboard.

Edit: Yup, it is. Review

Correct, one is for the keyboard, the other is for the USB port on the side of the keyboard.  I usually use it with 1 usb plugged in because I don't use the USB port on the keyboard.

Note, Kalito reviewed the black cherry version of the keyboard, which had the media keys on the right hand edge of the keyboard.

So if plugged into a PC, does the "Command" key work like the "Windows" key, and the "option/alt" key is "Alt"?

Correct.  Control = control, Option = Alt, Command = windows.  It's different from the typical PC layout, I used autohotkey to switch alt with windows so it would work as I usually expect.

By the way if you guys haven't figured it out yet, is that both of these keyboards SMK-88 (cherry blue) and monterey switch siig minitouch are both very hard to find, both out of production and pretty darn rare.

Chicony 5181 is sold to Ricercar, thanks.
