[WTTF] OmniKey with blue Alps, for Acer KB-101A
« on: Sun, 07 August 2016, 18:10:52 »
OK, I know this might take a while :p . That's OK though.

A lot of people have asked to buy or trade for my Acer KB-101A, which apart from three weeks or so of light use from me is totally pristine. Basically it's NOS blue Alps. They're ****ing amazing. I never want to be without these switches :D .

So, the only thing I'd ever trade it for is another board with as-new blue Alps. Thing is, I'm not a huge fan of the ANSI layout, while everyone else seems to be precisely that. So, if someone has an OmniKey 102, with the bigass enter everyone seems to have, but which I love, I'd happily trade it for that. However, the blue Alps must be in similar, virtually unused condition. Without the switches having been cleaned, too, as I don't believe cleaning can ever truly restore Alps switches.

Let me know if anyone has one like this! :D

Here it is btw:

Have a Northgate Omnikey 102 with blue alps. However, not in as-new condition as those are incredibly rare. Bought mine from eBay that was listed as NOS. All keys work but does not come with original box or anything else. I took out the keycaps and gave it a clean when I got it but its not nearly in brand new condition. Works 100% fine. Let me know if you would like it.

Sorry I must've missed this post Oo . No sorry, condition is absolutely everything with these switches, I'll have to decline :/ .

And yeah, I know they're rare, so is the Acer :p . That's okay though, I'm still a very happy man in the meantime :) .

Patience, Grasshopper.

If you get your trade in 2 years that might still be quick.

"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."

Haha, yeah, I know, but it doesn't hurt to keep it near the front for a bit :) .

I was thinking the same

"I'm not totally happy with my red unicorn, so does anyone have a purple one I can trade it with?"

Best of luck... you'll need it  :p
