I bought this beautiful Deck 82 tenkeyless keyboard and have used it for just a few hours. It's a red body with red LEDs (except the caps LED, which is blue). I've had it for a couple of years, but it's bsaically in mint condition (since I cannot stand the keyswitches). It's a real shame since it is probably the highest quality compact keyboard I have seen (all details are just amazing)

Here's the story - I wanted a compact mechanical keyboard for home (I use an old Model M at work) and I didn't realize that that might mean linear switches (it has Cherry MX blacks). I was ignorant at the time, having only owned mechanical keyboards that were clicky and tactile (old Northgates and IBMs). So, I would like to trade this for a nice tenkeyless keyboard with tactile clicky keys (presumably with Cherry MX blues, but not necessarily).

These Deck keyboards appear to be pretty rare and expensive in the UK (I forget what I paid - the UK distributor wants £133 and the German one wants 130 Euro - ouch - without shipping).

I am near Bristol UK.

I've had a couple of people ask if I want to sell it - I'd prefer to trade since it was a business purchase, so I would feel better if it went one-for-one towards a new keyboard, but if I don't find a trade partner, I'll look for pricing info to sell.  I also need to remember to check on which layout it is when I get home from my office.  I assume it is a USA layout (I can barely tell the difference between UK and US after using both regularly for so many years!).  I also assume it has PC keycaps (I see that Deck has an option for Mac - I think that is new since I don't remember being given a choice).  

I'll try to post a follow up ASAP...

I guess I will have to open this up for sales - I'd like to net enough for a decent replacement - they are rare an expensive in the UK, so I think £85 is a decent price - anyone interested? I am stupid busy at the moment, so I might have to agree to a sale and then have someone wait to pay until I can box it and be ready to ship (so you don't pay and wait).
