This seems like a good price on something that a lot of people here desire.

I am not particularly interested, but I am kind of surprised that it is on its second listing.

That's not a trackpoint, that's a touchpad. A trackpoint would be located in between the GHB keys.

I do like them boards but the trackpads are awful.

Well, it IS a cherry G80-11900. I wouldn't use the touchpad, but it's a good deal nonetheless:

(starting bid $25 with $40 BIN. Toll the KVM)

How does one tell which switches are in these things?

No, you got me there Rip. My wit is out for the day. What rhymes with sticky and describes the actuation device of this particular klaviatura?

every 11900 i have come in contact with has been blacks.

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #8 on:** Tue, 03 January 2012, 15:33:06 »

I have a clears one, but I did it myself

I think they are only made with blacks too, never seen any other switch stock. But pcb mount so a nice and easy mod to replace to blue, brown, clear, red, Frankensteins.
I like mine ok, layout could be worse. Trackpad sucks once past 1024x768 resolution in my opinion. Even though the datasheets claim 1000dpi, I think it's like 400.
They are on ebay for cheap pretty often, sometimes new for $25 or less.

They claim 1000dpi? I think that is unlikely.

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #10 on:** Tue, 03 January 2012, 16:17:16 »

They sure do. Could be a more recent change on newer models though.

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #14 on:** Tue, 03 January 2012, 18:06:01 »

Well someone can still buy the one I linked for $25 buy it now...

obra · « **Reply #15 on:** Tue, 03 January 2012, 20:57:56 »

Ah well. I'd been prodding around for a bit and hadn't seen one _that_ cheap. Live and learn.

IvanIvanovich · « **Reply #16 on:** Tue, 03 January 2012, 21:45:16 »

I only paid $16 for mine, brand new with Italian doubleshots. Now that was cheap. You still got a good price, as they are $100+ retail new.
