i think i am going to pass. have some expenses coming up restoring a beamspring and modifying another. i'm sure they'll all find good homes.

I'll sit this one out, but these look great, enjoy!

A small form factor Alps board with a weird layout? Count me in!

Looks like it might have a plastic plate which would be meh but can't complain that much for the price.

I have a hunch they're metal plate. An informed hunch, but only barely…

If you look at some shots of the switches with the cap removed, you can glimpse what appears to be a standard black powder coated steel plate.

I'm all for random boxes. Or XOR not.

They're Greek legends. Not Geek!

This makes me wish that there is a greek keyboard community out there called greekhack.

I take 2.


How much is the price?

Not sure you can have two, not enough to go around! Price will be 15€+shipping unless we get a better deal.

I'm interested if they are not all taken.

Interested too!

I'll take one!

Any news? No rush, just asking

Actually, I thought the same thing when I first saw their name. They should celebrate their strange internet connection to Greece with a nice white and blue site theme on the national holiday, just to confuse the shit out of their user base!

Also, the Rootworm guy(s) would have actually done something funny instead of violently pointless if they had changed Geekhack to Greekhack for a day. Taking something down isn't nearly as amusing as playfully subverting it. And either one will give the admins the shits…

Well, I have good news and bad news...
I have the boards here, and the seller delivered them in person, so no extra shipping cost!
And they look really nice! Genuine clicky white Alps, pad printed caps and plastic plate that feels just fine.
Those were the good news..

Bad news is that it turns out there were 27 keyboards, and only 3 of those boxed.
And one of them has suffered water damage in the past (the one in the pics).
I'll be keeping the damaged one and one boxed.
I am waiting for Abstractions to reply if he's in or not.

Tomorrow I'll get shipping supplies, and start invoicing people.
I'll need a PM from everyone with email and full address, unless you prefer SEPA, in which case PM me so I can send you my acc. info.

Fantastic. Thank you very much, chzel! PM incoming.

PM sent, just waiting for gogusrl to read his PMs

They look great, thanks for your work so far chzel!

PM sent too
thanks !

Looks luvly, looking forward, and thank you.

How come nobody bid on the one that was auctioned? I was thinking about it but somehow I forgot about it even after receiving a 15 mins remaining notification. It sold for $8 + shipping

I didn't since b***a was the first bid, and he seems to go high on his bids, and

I could ask the seller for details about b***a but it feels a bit like doxing, not to mention creepy!

Haha, it would be tempting. I think the best we can hope for is that b***a reveals himself eventually and shares his collection with the community. It would be neat to see what all he has collected. He must have a closet or storage room just for keyboards.

Is this just a joke or is it actually webwit?

I don't have an account. I've been boycotting ebay for the past 5 years.
