Dell AT101 faux camoflauge keyboard
« on: Mon, 20 May 2013, 13:03:37 »
I need to clear out some space. This is a keyboard that my son and I painted a couple of years ago for a "faux camouflage" look for a teenage boy.

The keyboard works fine, it is in what I would describe as "good used" condition. Selling as-is for about $10 over shipping. Note that this is the earlier AT101 model (no Windows keys) not the later AT101W model.

$25 shipped domestic US.

“These economic royalists complain that we seek to overthrow the institutions of America. What they really complain of is that we seek to take away their power."
He paused for a moment, then thundered, “Our allegiance to American institutions requires the overthrow of this kind of power!”
“In vain,” Roosevelt said, “they seek to hide behind the Flag and the Constitution. In their blindness they forget what the Flag and the Constitution stand for. Now, as always, they stand for democracy, not tyranny; for freedom, not subjection; and against a dictatorship by mob rule and the over-privileged alike.”

Thanks, it used to be almost $60 to get it across the pond, now it is almost $80.

We later did a Model M that was more impressive (of course) and there is also a lot more flexibility with key caps (we dyed a set green, and they came out badly splotchy and uneven - perfect for camo!).

For now, we are keeping the M, just in case, but he has moved on to a G80-11900 and I loaned him a few of my "special" keys (I really don't have many since I am not a Cherry kind of guy). He likes the MX blacks better for his gaming, although it took him a few days to get used to linears.
