Matias Tactile Pro
« on: Mon, 08 October 2007, 06:44:16 »
Depending on how 1 of 2 Ebay auctions go this week, I may have a Matias Tactile Pro (version 1) very soon.  10-30 for one in good working condition and a USB 1 port at the keyboard seems a lot better than $150 for the same thing with USB2.

Only $129 here.   :roll:

I've heard good things about the Kensington StudioBoard (reviewed here).  Might want to check Ebay for one of these as well.

Daggummit.  I'd have bought that two weeks ago instead of the SMK-88 if I'd known about it!

Is this one of the ones you plan on bidding on?

yes

I've been outbid but now that it shows up on my page I am going to try to snipe it at the end.  But he doesn't take PayPal...I am winning another one for $1 plus $10.77 shipping that takes PayPal.  I may not bid again on that one, especially if the price goes up.

Of I win both of these bad boys, you want one?

Is that the collective "you" of the geekhack community?  Or me in particular?  ;)

You get first dibs.  If these are two NICE Matias Tactile Pro keyboards and I determine that I only want one of them (assuming I win both, which I may not) then the other is up for grabs.  They are going for cheap (I am assuming they don't get bid up at the end) so why wouldn't I give one away if I don't want it?

So...iMav....want one if I get an extra?

If those auctions don't work out for you, you've got plenty of opportunities to buy new...
