I bet the reserve is like 1000$ or something. Either way seller scared off some buyers by putting reserve on there its not a smart move IMO

Don't know much about Topre boards, but that looks like a pretty decent deal to me. I would be really tempted to get one if I were in the UK.

Sorry if this was shared already, not around too much anymore
nice source of old mx black switches if anyone's looking:

You could also pick up some cheap Data 911's - the last one I owned had very smooth switches:

Also, did someone really pay $250 for that F122 posted last week?

meh, I'd like it a lot more without the double row on the left and the one on the right. That's mainly because I don't use FJ homing keys but the sides of the alphas (shift/capslock on the left and enter on the right).
I'd do it as a full keyboard split in 3 (2 alphas + arrows/numpad).

Yes that's a good deal although Novatouch is not equal to Realforce in more than one regard.

I agree on both points. Love my Realforce so much more than the NovaTouch, even factoring in the Granite set and damping rings I've got on the NovaTouch. But that is one sterling price for a new NovaTouch and well worth the grab!
Makes me wonder how the NovaTouch experiment turned out for CM. Doesn't look like an immense success. Hopefully they're still working with Topre and can achieve something better on the second try. Depends on Topre just as much as CM.

Aside from the success for CM it's great that they originally did release it, the Novatouch is the best thing that happened to Topre in terms of making their obnoxiously expensive and partially unavailable (in Europe) keyboards accessible in another form to the "average" buyer.

I saw that listing as well a little earlier, it's curious how he only has the upper part of an industrial SSK case, where did the other half go?

Looks like Ascai's SSK, but in ANSI, he algo got the top shell from someone. The board does look great!

He never had it! It's a FRANKEN improv SSK. Still nice to have, better than nothing.

Your wealth was unbeknownst to me! That is a lovely looking ISO SSK! And a mx5000, to boot...
What's that 65% keyboard with the R5 caps?

It's just a KBT PurePro. Doesn't it look sweet?
Here's a new picture of it:

Wow Lucky you! I wish I could get an industrial top like that for mine, although this listing will be way out of my price range

Everybody should have that topshell, it's beautiful. It is a shame that

It's my keyboard. I got the industrial top portion a long, long time ago when Unicomp still had some. My wife has mandated a massive reduction in keyboards- I have over 50- mostly normal Ms, but I have a 3 brand new SSKs and a lot of other odd stuff. I also have a NIB 82g up on eBay aw well.
This keyboard looks awesome btw, you cannot tell it isn't a true industrial from most angles. I am also including the original top...
