Damn... I NEED that keycap set! Original era Cherry Russian dyesub, as the primary legend... amazing.

Yeah they are amazing and i think very rare, if you want them that badly you can always ask someone here to proxy.

I suppose I will check back in 5 days to see what the price is looking like... I kind of dislike how busy the numrow is too, 6 legends on a key is super cluttered looking.

non-clicky...

what switch type is that?

Strange. I know there exist Model M rubberdomes, but Model F?


Someone must find out. At least the case should be worth it!

Maybe they mean it's broken… very odd.

I think is not broken, because there is another one also "non-clickey":

see the description, second paragraph...

Didn't some IBM boards come with linear Oak switches? Trying to find a source atm, will update when I find it.

edit - http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=54779.0

^That link is a discussion on the same board on GH.

Seems they don't have a clue either. Seriously, what did you expect!


My guess: The case would be worth it, but for me the shipping is not, so just someone in the US should get it and find out what it really is.

Went on taobao. Some cheap, some not so cheap. Thought I should list them:

G80-1279HBG (UK ISO)
G80-3036HAC
G80-3000HAD
G80-3000HAE
G81-7000LUBUS (Shows doubleshot caps even though the label indicates lasered)
G81-3007 (Light NCR case)
G80-11900HRMUS
G80-11900HRMUS
G80-11900HVMUS
G80-11900HVMUS

most of them are sold, trust me

Not to be stupid, but are these listed in Yen? Isn't 500 Yen something like 5 USD? Or am I looking at the wrong currency?

Also, how do you order from them? I used google to translate the page but it's a pretty messy translation.

Prices are yuan not yen.

Hint: Taobao is in China. Not Japan.

I was wondering...I was pretty sure they didn't use Yen in China, but the symbol looks the same...

Yeah, confusingly the names Yen and Yuan (the one you're looking at) mean the same thing. China's currency is actually called Renminbi, but everyone there calls it yuan. It's kind of like calling Dollars bucks, if we also called Euros, Pounds, Rubles and Rupees "bucks", and they all had kind of the same symbol too.

Yes. Tinnie found me a Norwegian one but the seller hasn't responded at all, so it is probably sold.

Or the seller is dead. If the seller isn't, he will be on account of playing with my emotions.

and BTW renminbi = 人民币

I asked the seller to put up a picture of the switch, and he did: OAK switches indeed, no idea how those are ?

Shit.

Unlike buckling spring, Oak won't give you any wood. Oh the irony.

Chicony KB-7096 which looks like a crappy rubberdome, but the german-russian ergo layout looks interesting.

Is it normal that the lettering on a ISO SGI Granite is not cursive like on ANSI ones?
