I've been curious about these boards ever since seeing them in shops all around London! They look really cool but there's no way I could make the layout work for me.

I have one with no caps if you want to try one , i also have the full matrix one as well.
They are good keyboards , they are solid and they must have gotten a batch of older blacks somewhere or just got lucky as they are way smoother than say reds or modern blacks . Not vintage or nixdorf by any means but better than something you would find in a brand new board today.
Both of mine where NIB

Such nice boards, sadly I live to much away.
Yesterday I found this:
http://www.ebay-kleinanzeigen.de/s-anze ... 0-168-1936
I already talked with the seller it is G81 1138 HBU with METO branding.
He wants 90€ for the keyboard.
These are sideprinted doubleshots ansi layout, maybe someone want it.
If it where a g80 I would grab it, but to much money for a g81 imo.

Just saw a cheap Wang 724 pop up on Ebay. Looks pretty dirty and the guy doesn't say anything about whether it works, but I know there are tons of people looking for this keyboard.

What is it about that keyboard that people are so interested in?

I have no idea. First I've heard about it.

Maybe because of the keycaps? The Kingsaver (TKL Alps with metal case) needs those keycaps I think.

It comes with Alps Salmon/Orange and has a clicker. Very nice keyboard. I've got one here, and some other lucky person got one from Cindy as well.
IIRC - may be wrong - there may be an Omron switch version of it as well.

A RollerMouse Pro "tested working good" for BuyItNow $25?
Looks like a mistake, but who knows…

I got my Rollermouse for £25 BIN, it does happen sometimes
. It was missing one of the keyboard rest thingies though, I sent Contour an email about where/how to get a replacement and they sent me a new set (of two) for free.

thats not bad , its the same model i have and they work very well
Also i did end up getting that tipro and its very nice , cleaned up like new
could people keep an eye out for a tipro 4x8 matrix ( older pre "free" model) beige with USB please , would also take a PS2 model.
Need some caps and the piece of plastic to connect em too.

Well-concealed Cherry Schneider keyboard (G81-3026 HAD/02, I asked the seller):
http://www.ebay-kleinanzeigen.de/s-anze ... 9-225-6986
andrewjoy, I have to search my stuff, perhaps I have one of those beige 4x8 Tipros, but if so, for sure not USB.
Plastic connector no problem, caps: do you mean the 1u relegendables?

You could also get the dirty version
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Confour-Pro-Rol ... 1777626183
Sadly shipping overseas is so expensive or I might have bought one

by hypkx
Interesting, have you got some pictures from the keycaps?
Posted: 02 Sep 2015, 18:11
by kbdfr
No, but the code tells they are doubleshots without winkeys.
Just ask the seller, he's been quite responsive.

eBay quotes approx. $36 shipping and $10 import charges (for Germany),
that would amount to somewhat over $70 or 60-65€.
Definitely worth that in my opinion.
I would have bought it as a reserve if it wasn't black

No it's just the seller trying to make their money on shipping. Economy shipping in the US for an item like that costs around $15 usually but it's $35 to my state.

Are you sure that the keycaps are thick? I'd say they're thin.
Posted: 03 Sep 2015, 01:23
by photekq
Thick for sure, since the F/J are scooped.
Posted: 03 Sep 2015, 01:26
by Muirium
Huh? I was just about to post the opposite, but then my Cherry knowledge is slim at best. I thought the Windows keys make it a late model, surely they were onto thin PBT by then? What gives?

Winkey but still nice and thick. The bottom row will be off center though.

This is a G80, not a G81, bottom row should be correct.
