Cherry keyboard with trackpoint on ebay
« on: Tue, 03 January 2012, 08:39:57 »
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.

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)

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?

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.

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

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

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.
