NIB OmniKey ULTRA for MACS, no less - don't think I've ever seen one of these before. Or even ANY NIB OmniKey, for that matter xD . I don't know what switches are in this. The caps do have that horrible font and legend placement, though.

Good thing it's "out of my reach" across the pond.

@seebart agreed. A blessing and a curse at the same time. It'll be interesting to watch this one.

If only he had the balls to open the bag and take a cap off...

He might not even know how to do that.

These have probably all been posted before, but just in case...

P.S. It's said those Ortek boards have doubleshot PBT, but no-one's been able to confirm or disprove it xD .

I saw that Chicony as well. It's a very clean board--very nearly NIB condition in fact--but the one thing keeping me from picking it up is the godawful 1-key backspace, which is quite possibly my least favorite keyboard layout. Can't imagine how anyone remotely thought it was a good idea back in the day.

I much prefer the layout used by Focus and Monterey keyboards.

Well you have to think of it in the context of its time. When IBM introduced it, the standard was the XT layout. I'd say it was an improvement .

I'll let you know if my bid wins it I like it for the fact that I think it's a terminal.

Here's a cat pic so nobody else will bid on it.

The old Z-100 had SKCC switches, might be those in this too. No guarantees though, Zenith used quite a few different switches.

I got one of these, the guy is selling a second one. He had no idea what it was, so I felt obliged (after buying his first) to message him with the following details:

The keyboard appears to be a Cherry G80-1800 with Cherry MX Black switches (not vintage black switches). It is in ANSI layout and has 1u modifiers (not the earlier winkeyless version). The keycaps are thick doubleshot ABS and are in excellent condition.

Wow. I should get this to build into that arcade cabinet I'm always threatening to build.

Let me know if you want any more information about it.

More info: 6u spacebar (off-centre stem) and MX Grey switch on space.
