couldn't find anything on this keyboard, looks like clear/gray switches with non-cherry keycaps, anyone know anything about these?

"Shipping: $526.53 UPS Worldwide Expedited" :eek:

What - they are going to wrap it in gold foil and reserve an entire first class end of the airplane?!?!

Full metal case, and it have a power supply inside it. It's probably heavy. Look like SP keycap. International delivery price is silly, they must be flying with it for hand delivery. I always thought it would be funny to make such terms on ebay for a sale just to see what happened.

Wasn't it the first iPad or something on eBay where the seller was charging something like $10,000 and offered to get on a plane and hand deliver it to anywhere in the world?

The argument at the time was that the buyer would effectively be paying for the seller to have a short holiday.

These are for sure SP caps, but there are some really cool ones. Plate mounted mx clears.

Yeah the black 1-8 are neat and you could place arrows on WAD if you wanted to, too bad down arrow is missing. The pictures are too small for me to make out much else. Price is too much though since it would likely take considerable effort to make work on pc, I would maybe offer half.

I wanted to so that with the new C64's, but $350 for a MX Blue keyboard and a nostalgic case, no thanks.

looks like they have a gray or something for the spacebar, too. I wonder if a WYSE spacebar would work.

Unfortunately, it won't. This board has a "normal" space bar, which is 7 units wide. Wyse's space bar is 8 or 10 units wide. (PCE keyboard vs. ASCII keyboard).
There are Tsangan kits made for the Wyse, though that have 7 unit-wide space bars in Wyse's colour, but I think that it is too late to get on that now.

These are common on ebay for cheap:

Cool caps and you can harvest the clears. Plus it has plate mount cherry corp stabilizers that aren't super common.

Wow this board looks like a tank. It's really tempting to buy one and make usable on a pc. It would certainly be unique.
