Clickey Keyboards F AT

Looks a tad pricey but overall nice condition.  Also makes you feel better that it was actually cleaned and tested.

A keyboard that makes a Model M look flimsy.  Gotta love it.  :thumb:

I hate the Model F plastic with that textured "skin" layer on top and smooth underneath. The Model M plastic was a huge improvement.

And anyway, cracking open the front edge of an AT F is terrifying in itself.

Overpriced. The condition of that F leaves a lot to be desired.

Price is ok, but by looking at this case I wouldn't expect anything spectacular out of this keyboard. All you can expect by buying from this site is that this keyboard works and some keys may have good feeling, but you can be pretty sure that most of the keys will be scratchy and don't expect any consistency in feel.

How is that price remotely okay for that level of quality?

I have never bought anything but parts from them, but my impression is that they generally sell at half again what the market (ie ebay) is getting.

I've purchased Model M's from both clickykeyboards and eBay, and while the Model M's I bought from clickykeyboards indeed worked, and at least one of them was in good condition, a lot of the M's I've purchased from eBay were of similar quality and half the price. Another one of the M's I bought from clickykeyboards needed a good wiping down, and a couple of keys had spring issues and didn't fully click. That was the last one I purchased from them.

I bought a set of keycaps from him for what I thought was a good price. I try not to pay more than $30 for an M, so I can't comment on the keyboards.

Still, it's an AT F that seems to be working. I wonder how soon they'll hit these prices on eBay?

They already have come close. Last few have been around $120. The one clickykeyboards is really beaten up.
