I am the darker brother.

Spoiler:

I, too, sing America.

I am the darker brother.
They send me to eat in the kitchen
When company comes,
But I laugh,
And eat well,
And grow strong.

Tomorrow,
I’ll be at the table
When company comes.
Nobody’ll dare
Say to me,
“Eat in the kitchen,"
Then.

Besides,
They’ll see how beautiful I am
And be ashamed—

I, too, am America.

(Langston Hughes, 1902 - 1967)

Well the brit says it's a GB only sale.

Ooof, can proxy it but I'm too broke to nab it for myself .

I've been eyeing it up for a while now... screw it, better get it before someone else does.

Thanks, you've saved me £30 and a kicking from the Mrs .

I'm already bringing 3 keyboards back on my visit to London... why not make it four? Argh!

It's only a light little thing, won't take up much of your weight allowance .

Ha! I'm happy that you got it scottc. I was scared to never see it again.

Not sure if this has been posted, but here's an incredibly minty FK-2001.

Fantastic condition with box, materials, and the iconic dust cover. "If only it had blue alps," says the obsessive fanatic.

IBM Model F AT:

Cool thing but a bit to expensive for me.
Btw only 13$ shipping (+25$), I think thats the cheapest shipping I ever seen for the USA to germany

That's a good price for an AT, it often sells much higher.

Now that you can easily covert from XT, XT is still the better choice do long as it's under $70.

Nah...XT's layout is crap!
Also converting them has been possible for years now with Soarers converter!

And it's gone. I was thinking of buying it, but maeh...

Oh and I really prefer the AT in comparison with the XT. Only when modding the XT to the XTant layout, then it might be better, but when modding the AT to support Alt keys then it's better in my opinion.

i prefer the feel of the XT over the AT , the difference in quality is quite noticeable.

I'm sorry guys, but it was my turn for this one. As a result, I now have a self-imposed moratorium on my keyboard habit.

I really liked the idea of getting an XT because as Andrew and others have pointed out, there IS a noticeable difference - but I know I'd never use a board with an XT layout. The AT was my compromise; plug and play.

After watching eBay hard for two months, missing a BIN of $50 for one, and just being outbid on Sunday, it was time to pull the trigger. I figured I couldn't get significantly better unless I was willing to wait another 2 months... or 6 months... or...

Cool! Enjoy it!

Bluetooth 60% anyone?

http://www.aliexpress.com/store/product ... 48693.html

Just saw this on an email from MassDrop but their obnoxious website didn't deem me worthy of looking at it so I went and found it elsewhere. Looks interesting and relatively cheap as well; clone switches and pony looking caps but bluetooth is a thing people want isn't it?

How much to hack out the controller and drop the rest into recycling?

Wasn't there a bluetooth controller project before? Would be much better than producing even more electronic waste.

Yeah, I was only kidding. That board's all trash! The trouble with hacking controllers out of factory made boards is you're reverse engineering, every step of the way. Much better to get a controller / battery charger board that's made for us and we can program. Which we're getting nearer to, but still not quite.

That Bluetooth board is probably a Keycool OEM.

Man if that was UK ..... Would be so sweet. Always wanted one of them

I like those MX1800, too! Looks a bit crammed but with all the buttons you could ever need. Caps Lock used as Win key and you're perfect to go with every OS. But I don't like those dedicated Win keys...

ANSI Layout would be even nicer...
