TypeNow Solid Keyboard w/ MX Blues (SOLD)
« on: Thu, 07 June 2012, 10:35:44 »
Putting this up for sale for $340 shipped to CONUS ONLY. Purchased from another GH member, it's in perfect condition. No wear on it. Comes in the original packaging, and with ABS keycaps with
some wear on them, but you probably won't be using them long anyways. These typically run close to $400 on ebay.

I can add another switch type (browns) if you pay an extra $50 for the cost of the switches + labor. Or any switch of your choice if you send me the switches +$30 for the labor.

Send me a PM if interested.

Great price. GLWS!

I can convert this one to browns. I have tons of new brown switches. You just would have to pay for the service of soldering everything :P

It may help if the OP mention the actual price of a NIB board. Some people are not fully aware of that
