There are a few on ebay but I'm curious if a GHer has any in likely mint'ier condition.

These ones on eBay are in like new condition. I currently have 4 of them. Once you take the protective cover off, these things are mint!

What are the keys like and how does it feel to type on them?

sth · « **Reply #3 on:** Thu, 13 September 2012, 03:04:27 »

not too bad. it's kind of okay.

They have ML switches, low profile keycaps. Not so nice at the beginning, depending where you are coming from, but after you get used to them, you might like them.
I have 6 of them.

These are nice travel boards, the keys are small which some people like. Personally I don't use these for long typing sessions. Overall it works well for my use. I usually keep one of these in my laptop bag at all times because it's so darn small. I also really like the dyesub on these caps. I didn't even know they were dyesub until after I received mine. I was only interested in finding a nice clean G84 and completely overlooked the cap type.

Also, these have an industrial grey color which is very nice.

There are some BNIB ones for 14 or so at a spot we got ecycler raiding at, if they still have a few left do you want me to grab one for you Dante?

I got one from the seller on ebay as well, offered $20 when they were $30 at the time, so you may be able to go lower now that they are listed at $20. They have the protective covers attached (probably since new), so once you get them off they are pretty pristine underneath. The keycaps are excellent - I hope to one day have mx keycaps with dyesub legends as crisp as these are!

For $14, I would take one =)

well I'll buy a few next time I go, color pref?

danielucf · « **Reply #10 on:** Thu, 13 September 2012, 14:39:44 »

Could we do a mini group buy? I'd be up for one if they are that cheap just to try it out.

jwaz · « **Reply #11 on:** Thu, 13 September 2012, 14:45:13 »

If they are still there I will buy the stock and sell them at cost to you guys

i think the beige is ppaus and the grey might be too. i can't remember exactly. were there both pad printed and dyesubbed grey versions?

CeeSA · « **Reply #13 on:** Fri, 14 September 2012, 16:56:58 »

i would be interested too. Color does not matter.

jwaz · « **Reply #14 on:** Fri, 14 September 2012, 17:11:25 »

They had the gray/dark grey and the white/ beige ones

DanGWanG · « **Reply #15 on:** Fri, 14 September 2012, 17:16:03 »

Gray/Dark Grey plzzzz

jwaz · « **Reply #16 on:** Fri, 14 September 2012, 18:48:38 »

well we'll see if they have any left...

should have asked sooner.

sth · « **Reply #17 on:** Fri, 14 September 2012, 23:13:06 »

yeah they had like 5+ in each color

DanGWanG · « **Reply #18 on:** Fri, 14 September 2012, 23:13:42 »

You guys are scaring me with words like "had"

sth · « **Reply #19 on:** Fri, 14 September 2012, 23:15:41 »

not many people seem to like them and i couldn't justify buying another one, even though the one i have is a bit yellowed and the keys are sorta shiny... trust me i debated picking some up to resell for cost every time but just decided it wasn't worth it.

jwaz · « **Reply #20 on:** Fri, 14 September 2012, 23:53:10 »

next time I will live post from the spot

reaper · « **Reply #21 on:** Fri, 14 September 2012, 23:55:45 »

One of my earliest keyboards since they're inexpensive but it's a great little keyboard if you don't mind the ML switches.

I kept mine and bought another one in black. lol

sth · « **Reply #22 on:** Sat, 15 September 2012, 00:07:06 »

i kind of like the ML switches (more than any alps that's for sure) and i don't feel bad about using my g84 while i eat pizza since it's pretty shiny already.

jwaz · « **Reply #23 on:** Sat, 15 September 2012, 00:16:29 »

ML is not better than Monterey (which is isn't a real Alps but... still), not even close.

sth · « **Reply #24 on:** Sat, 15 September 2012, 11:46:31 »

'i kind of like' DEFINITELY means 'is better than' in my case.
IMPECABLE taste.

You must pray more, my child.
