I wouldn't pay that much for it. To get keycaps it will cost you quite a bit. You can get a 'M in very good condition for around 50.

How much do the RGBY modifier keys cost? the doubleshot ones by hash

The Ortek MCK-84's I sold a year or two ago went for between $90 and $225. Some buyers bought multiple and the price was adjusted accordingly. They were a mix of ISO and some like yours above that were ANSI w/vertical enter key, an uncommon combo that I enjoyed using. If it were quieter I'd use it a lot more.
Mine were used by NBC during the Olympics, I believe at ticketing kiosks or entry points, hence the port on the back for connecting a barcode scanner to scan tickets or security badges.

I picked up a set (without an Esc key) for about $40 a couple of months ago.

didja's, Is there a version that has the window keys like yours and oyecomova, but with ISO key in it? I've only seen pics of the ISO version with no window keys...

Hey guys, I am a defector from GH. I wasn't a member there very long and wasn't aware of all the problems the site was having... oh well. Anyway, what do you guys think a new and complete set of oem Steelseries 6Gv2 keys is worth? Not expecting much... maybe worth a PBT 37 key set in a trade?

Thanks.

Welcome to DT!

I dunno, those keys don't have a good rep.

Nonono... far simpler... it's for a numpad! :ugeek:

edit: possibly this one might be compatible (I reckon that connector isn't a DB9, despite what they say). The styling doesn't match though...
