The pros and cons of these particular keyboards from this Seller discussed at length here.

Gist: Cherry Clears or Browns (luck of the draw). Good buy for somebody who doesn't mind a lot of cleaning, but very, very well used and at least some with one or more broken switches. Not as well tested as Seller claims, but she seems willing to deal with any problems fairly.

Just read her stock description again - "This keyboard is in great shape.  It is very clean and has minor wear."

Nearly fell off my couch.

Compared to what, I wonder?

Typical, I buy the board, and then find this thread...

I was shopping for something a little different from the contour to swap to during the day to break things up, so it's not the end of the world if it's not perfect.  

To be fair to the seller, she's been forgiving about paypal messing things up.

I'll post how it is either way.

I'm now looking for a white/light grey board with compatible keys to dye with rit...  If the keyboard's okay, I'll add a wtb post in the marketplace.

Well, all things considered, I'd do it again. Of course, getting 1-and-4/5th boards in the end for the price of one didn't hurt. Plus getting to try Clears :)

Pretty decent seller despite the inaccurate description. Good Customer Service goes a long way.

Doesn't quite compensate for missing the Ricercar SPOS boards by 2 minutes, though :(

BE CAREFUL!!!!

I bought one of these from a different seller and it looks great, but here is my problem:

Just last night, I went to the Cherry website and downloaded their English V5.7 Configuration Software for the 8113 line so I could program the keys and adjust the trackpad.  I installed the software and rebooted..... to a black screen that says "UNABLE TO LOAD OPERATING SYSTEM"

AAAAAARRRRRGGGGGGG omgwtfbbq  This is INFURIATING !!!!
And now no amount of attempted system recovery or WinXP repairing is doing anything to help!  ! ! ! ! ! !

Have no fear, there are plenty available from Resource POS:

Just bought one of these. According to the seller, all available keyboards have Cherry Clear switches. Combine that with double-shot keycaps and it makes it a pretty sweet deal. Try offering a lower bid, too.

Beware though, they sometimes come with browns. Best to ask the seller ahead of time.

I did. I put in an offer with the request that I receive one with clear/white switches under the keys instead of brown. The seller replied that all keyboards available had "white" switches.

I did indeed get mine from ResourcePOS, and with a lower offer, but... mine has Browns!

Unless he physically pulls a keycap, no way to know for sure. This model is weird like that.

Just received mine today, and they are indeed Clear switches. Keycaps are in pretty good shape too, aside from being a bit yellowed. I'm not sure you can trust that all the rest available are Clears, but at least specifying it in your request should help.

I bought the board a few weeks back as a result of trying out the stn numpad and if you specify in your bid that you want "white stems" and advise the seller to lift a key cap to check. I'm sure you will get one with clears :smile:. Only typed on the board for a few minutes because I was on lunch break. Overall a nice clean board with clears!
