« on: Sat, 06 February 2010, 14:18:46 »
It just occured to me:

Board with black stems, decent spacesaver formfactor: (16.25 inches across, a filco tenkeyless is 14 inches across, filco 104key is 17.5 inches across)
MX11900 refurbed:
$20 bucks-

MX8100 used:
$27 bucks-

Thanks ripster for pointing out that black stems + brown springs = cherry red.

Only if it had NKRO.

Speaking of which I should get one of these black cherry boards for the stems so I can put them into my G86 Ricecar spos for gaming.  ROAR
