filco majestouch oem keycaps - worth selling
« on: Sat, 26 March 2016, 06:59:29 »
Bought a filco majestouch a couple of weeks ago with a qwerty layout. I used them for 2 weeks until my replacement blank keycaps arrived (I'm a french azerty user, slowly switching to bépo). I have no use for the oem qwerty keys (see the attached pic for the full layout) : is it worth trying to sell them on the classified section, and if so, how much should I ask for them ?

Typical ABS keycaps are not expensive - http://www.ebay.com/itm/Black-Backlit-ABS-104-Keyset-Cherry-MX-Keycaps-/331782959247?hash=item4d3fce308f:g:Mh0AAOSwB4NWx81N


So to answer your question - Keep them... If you chose one day to sell your keyboard, you'll have more chances to get rid of it.

I was going to see if they were the yellow keycaps, in which case I might have been interested ;)

But BucklingSpring has a good point - keep them for now.
"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
