Was wondering, For the TG3 Bl82
Does the bottom row keys work with the home row for nkro?

Some examples

sdf l; "+space"

sdf;' "+space"

sdf;' "+space" "+ins"

I wonder how many people here are geek enough to know how valuable this is. It is NIB and the oldest of the 3 variants (the only good one) - unspoiled by sunlight as well. Grabbed it for $20!

...wut

An even rarer (at least on ebay) related thing just popped up! I've NEVER seen one of "these" on ebay before. If I get "it" I'll post the picture for you to guess how valuable it is. The picture is **** so I have a 50/50 chance of it being the oldest of the 3 variants! But chances are good!

Edit: I will fucking kill anybody who snipes it at the end (if I find out who you are)!

So... the steelseries is fine, but there's also nothing wrong with Leopold. It's a fine brand of fine keyboards.

Agreed, but one does come cheaper than the other :P I do realize that the Leopold may comes with a better build quality and maybe even just better keyboards overall, but I was primarily focused on obtaining a keyboard just for the linear switches. I would've loved to have purchased the keyboard WhiteFireDragon offered, but I am on a budget :( Chances are, I'll get sick of the blacks and want to use reds again.. and hopefully WhiteFireDragon will still have the board LOL!

Lol. You and your grand mission to obtain all unknown relics. One person's junk may be treasures to another person... or something like that :P

Did I mention I found a keyboard? This thread was a success after all!

"Unknown" to you and yet you're older than me... I have been finding these things lately by searching like an "idiot". They have been improperly identified. I have to search the biggest words on the front of the packages to find them. But at least I'm finding them now!

Who called you an idiot? If you're talking about me, I wasn't belittling you in any way, if that's what it came off as (unless you're talking about someone else). I love finding rare things that are of higher value that others wouldn't realize because it usually means I can obtain more easily or at a cheaper price than expected.

I was able to get asdf jkl; space and ins to all register at the same time, not sure about ' though. G and H don't work so well though.

No one called me an idiot, and I'm not calling anyone an idiot. I have to "search like an idiot" to find these things. You weren't belittling me in any way. I have started searching for the biggest words on the front of packages and am starting to find these rare things that don't show up when you search the model number. Thus I dubbed it "searching like an idiot". Make sense?

Thanks for testing it out Tranquilite.

Judging from your response, I'm guessing the matrix is similar if not identical to the ML-4100 kb's which i have 1.

unfortunate, I cant use this kb because to press ins comfortably with my right hand i have to shift over to using ; '.

That "thing" still has another 2 days left on ebay... I've got some other "things" coming that may or may not be vintage. It would be awesome if they all are. But I would be happy with at least some of them being vintage.

I didn't know that they made a different "thing" in black. I contacted the seller and he told me the model number. Google told me that they once came in 5 colors instead of just the 4 that I knew of. That means that there's a good chance it's vintage.

I probably have an unhealthy amount of knowledge about these old desktop "things"... If only I knew as much about vintage keyboards as well...

The picture quality on ebay sucks... If only people could take decent pictures of their ****...

The one that hasn't come yet is the black "thing" I talked about. I have a vintage one in sapphire that I'm using at this very moment.

All 4 are no good...

By my count there are 4 variations of belkin and 4 variations of fellowes. Only one variation of each brand is good. Which sucks for me...

I will only post pictures of genuine vintage "things". So until I find another one there wont be any pictures. Sorry...

Gel in general (including mousepads and wristrests). There was a time in the late 90's when "real" gel was made. It is almost impossible to find nowadays.

My family owns 2 vintage mousepads (filthy but better than anything you can buy nowadays). One belkin, one fellowes.

I myself own 1 perfect vintage belkin mousepad, and 2 damaged vintage belkin mousepads. I also own 1 perfect vintage fellowes wristrest.

These things are nearly impossible to differentiate from the pictures on ebay. Take for example - the top one is my 1 perfect vintage belkin mousepad, while the botton one is a different variation that looks nearly identical. The top one is heaven, while the bottom one is **** (hell is reserved for different variations than this one).
