oh god... the only thing cool on that board are the keys with the additional printings... that ugly led mod destroys most of the value of the ssk...

Is that a typo with an extra zero?

I do love those green stepped "Control" keys!
"However, even though I was born in the Mesozoic, I do know what anyone who wants to reach out to young people should say: Billionaires took your money. They took your chance to buy a home. They took your chance at a good education. They stole your opportunities. Billionaires took the things you want in life. If you really want those things, you have to take them back.
That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.
Late-stage capitalism is a wealth-concentration engine, focused on vacuuming up every dollar and putting it in as few hands as possible. Republicans are helping that vacuum suck.
How does a tiny fraction of the population get away with this? They do it by dividing the other 99% of Americans against themselves."

Most of the modding can be done on your own once you break through the psychological barriers.

No, but I'm sure it comes with a little speaker that will play recorded music of someone playing a mandolin.

Wife: You have too many keyboards - get rid of some!

sandyepay: How?

Wife: I don't know, list them on eBay or something.

sandyepay: And if they don't sell, can I keep them.

Wife: I suppose.

sandyepay: Buy it Now * 100 ...
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

'This I think is a one of a kind model that has the features this keyboard has.'

Someone must be trolling here!

i wonder if there are nuke proof force shield crystals inside.

almost certainly not.

IBM quit using them in the middle of 1986

More importantly what do you think the third LED does? Note the embedded numpad isn't accessible with the replaced controller.

The buy it now price is very tempting

The buy it now price it is tempting specially accompanied with the "May god  bless you " at the end of his posting.....  But who Am'I Kidding, I just sold this one ebay and really cant complain:

- NIB Industrial trackpoint = $600
- NIB but not proper packaging Industrial oval logo = $500
- NIB White logo = $600
- NIB Kentucky Wild Cats = $150 (outside ebay)

I knew was a good time to start selling the virgins, I barely see virgins at all, I'm speaking of IBM's lol

Better up your cable prices to about $300 each.
