ah i wish i could find vintage boards in australia....


Are you kidding? Your countrymen have posted finds of Model Ms on the side of the road on recycling day!
 

I've been looking, but only found one old Apple keyboard by the side of the road (not AEKII, unfortunately), and nothing - zero - in thrift shops.

"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

The term recycling day implies that you have recycling centres. Find them! Don't bother with thrift shops, they trend to only keep USB keyboards as only those are resellable, and for all intents and purposes USB keyboards are useless to us.

it varies from council to council, at my council you have to drop off all your e-waste at a centre, and taking others stuff is forbidden

There are high school students on here buying $500 keyboards - it blows my mind, as we used to say in the 1960s. (not to mention $200 key caps - even more staggering)

Huh, try $500 keycaps. How do you spell "hysteria"?
