I was so hopping it would be browns but still not a bad board maybe a good mod board?

I think the cost of entry is a little high for a mod 'board. If either this 'board were cheap or the source of browns were cheap, maybe, but $130 just to tear it up seems a little much for me.

Is there a link i'm missing to that non-windows key cherry black keyboard? I like that layout, but so far have found it only with MY switches.

Here you go http://page5.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/e100668267 the biggest cost of getting it will be shipping but seeing that I already have some boards to ship I was just going to throw it in the box with them. It is currently sitting at 1,980 yen or about $23 (including paypal fees) not included in that price is the broker fee shipping from seller to broker and bank wire fee but all of that will only add maybe 1,000 - 1,500 ($15) that is why I was thinking that about $50 would cover it as long as the auction price does not go up too much.

After a long and carefully considered nanosecond, I'm certain I'm not in the running for that keyboard. Bad timing, PS/2, shipping from Japan all make me think God doesn't want this one to be mine.

Aside from being plain white, it looks very similar to a PII luggable's keyboard that was on E-bay a while back.  I recall Itlnstln saying something about that board, but I don't know if the auction images are still around.

After a few "little" inquiries, was told that these wNv kbds were produced in Shenzhen (a few miles North of Sheung Shui) and distributed to different regions of the "Central Kingdom" to be sold. Unfortunately, no one buys them because of the premium prices. Fortunately, it is expected to become much cheaper in the near future.

Had intended to get my paws on one of these HUMUS but as I have kbds to last two life-times and only have a 1/5 life-time remaining (fingers & toes crossed), eventually made the decision to purchase the Orient Star Classic WZ0081EL watch in its' stead.


Another bad decision as I can now barely FOCUS with my deteriorating eyesight.

Well, that's one keyboard I'm not going to buy.
