I don’t understand how these haven’t sold in the half a day they’ve been up.

One is supposedly not working, but it should be possible to fix, or at the very least swap the un-yellowed case and keycaps onto the working one.

These are great boards as hosts for whatever Alps switches you prefer, if you like a full-size ANSI layout.

This was a very good deal.

I have had a fair amount of luck Retro-briting Omnikey cases, but not keys.

Those chassis and cases are the absolute best place there is to transplant your preferred Alps switches.

See my post in the blue Alps tour thread on how to mount a standard PS/2 cable and get rid of the goofball arrangement that is standard.
"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."
