[sold] Interesting Keyboard with integrated Trackball
« on: Sat, 20 April 2013, 18:21:46 »
$10 plus shipping.  Why am I selling for so cheap?  Because I harvested the caps!  They are Alps doubleshots.  I wanted to keep them if a custom Alps project comes to fruition.  Also, I had some trouble getting the board to work with a Mac, and I can't use it with a PqC at work because one of the adapters requires a driver installation and I can't install anything on my work computer.

Keyboard is a Focus Electronics FK-7000P.  It has this integrated trackball, which is kinda convenient.  Switches are a clicky Alps clone.  AT and serial connections. Everything works, all the lights work, the board is very clean and in good condition, despite being 20 years old.  I used the keyboard for typing, but couldn't get the trackball working because of previously mentioned driver installation problem.

I will include a few caps.  Odd-sized escape key, caps lock, num lock, scroll lock, and F7 (because half of the keycap stem broke in the switch).  Maybe space bar, because it's a 7-unit Alps spacebar that might be hard to find.

To get more keycaps caps, you can find another Focus Electronics board with a similar layout and harvest the keycaps from those.

I understand you want to keep the caps, they are awesome, maybe in the thin side and light font.
