[WTB] SKCM blue keyboard
« on: Mon, 07 August 2017, 11:45:07 »
Looking to buy an SKCM blue keyboard, one with a fairly "standard" type of layout ie ruling out things like Leading Edge 2014.

Conventional ANSI-layout blue Alps, such as the Acer KB-101A, are mega-rare.

If you own a soldering iron, you should really consider putting a "Frankenboard" together the way you really want it.

“In vain,” Roosevelt said, “they seek to hide behind the Flag and the Constitution. In their blindness they forget what the Flag and the Constitution stand for. Now, as always, they stand for democracy, not tyranny; for freedom, not subjection; and against a dictatorship by mob rule and the over-privileged alike.”

There are many others like OEMMAX, etc that aren't anywhere as rare as that 101A. I can solder/desolder, I just value my time more highly than having to go through that again. Considering these switches are often old and the joints/pins starting to oxidize, desoldering and soldering them on a donor board is just too time consuming for me. If these were new switches with no oxidization soldering to a new PCB is comparatively quick work.

How much are you looking to pay for such a board?

I never received a message.

balotz: it would really depend on the board, condition, what it came with, etc.
