Gateway 2000 Any Key on ebay

Not really a "great" price but there are certain people who really like these, and they are getting very hard to find.

"The old Republican Party was a stool with three legs: social conservatism, economic conservatism and national security conservatism.
So too is the MAGA Republican Party. One of those legs is the nativist extremism of Stephen Miller. The second is the anti-government extremism of Russell Vought.
And the last is the open, flamboyant corruption of Donald Trump — a corruption that degrades a people’s faith in government and makes it all the easier to remake the state in the image of a single man.

These are sought after? I had no idea.

I have one in my closet.

I am not sure how large the demand might be, but they were very popular for CAD work a few years ago, and some users love the extra programmable keys. You could probably get at least $30 shipped for it.

Also, as I recall (foggy that far back), the caps are MX or Alps compatible, although I do not remember the material or quality.

Love the layout.

From searching old Geekhack threads, AnyKeys seem to have MX-compatible doubleshot keycaps (DCS profile, made by Comptec). The earliest ones are Cherry MX white switches, but in ~1993 they switched to (nicer than average) rubber domes.

The caps on mine appear to be printed ABS, but I have the PS/2 model.
