No, they will ship, I have bought from them several times. They are somewhat reliable, as long as you don't expect fast shipping and don't e-mail them any questions. They might reply, but their german is quite bad...
The deal with these is that they are used, they will most likely have a scratched out company logo on top, mine all did. Most of the USB ones are not that old though, and are a good deal if you like the blacks. If you like linears, but feel blacks are too heavy, maybe you can still get some springs from Sprit and make Ghetto reds!

Nice thx for the infomation. ya the funny thing is a G80-1800 is my Numpad atm i desoldered all switches except the numpad Ghetto style XD ya i thing i give it to a friend who still uses an Rober-dome "Gaming-Keyboard"

Anyone knows what's in these :

That capslock profile tells me they're not BS.

I don't think they're Buckling Spring either, but it looks mechanical and I like the colourful keycaps, especially the green tab.

A bit of googling told me that it's a rebranded Honeywell and most likely a rubberdome (but no confirmation).

Oh, right, now I remember having found that, too, a while ago as I was researching a similar 122-key-keyboard. So it is most likely a rubber dome.

Apologies if this has already been posted somewhere on DT, but the 60% Matias GB is now live and taking orders:

http://matias.ca/60/pc/#gb

Better to make a thread about it in the news section.

But ugh, that bottom row. It looks like it melted and spilled down the front of the keyboard!

I had a laptop that did that back in the 90s, I think. Easily done when negated into a palm rest. But it was just a dome, of course. Could be sweet with real switches.

Whoops! I edited your post instead of replying to it, my bad! (Mod powers and iPad commute typing clash.) There is no undo, evidently. Sorry about that!

Gogusrl saw the Matias layouts above, and suggested a layout with a full inverted T cluster where the left, down and right keys are on a separate row by themselves, in the palm rest.

I should have asked first. Could it be moved to the News section? Start a new thread over there, or just leave it as it is?

Yes, the bottom row is strange. I had hoped that the Matias 60 would have afforded an opportunity to essentially have a HHKB with Matias switches. You could sort of get there via the PC version, remapping the Del key as Fn, but presuming that the existing Fn key is hardwired, this leaves the existing Fn key just taking up space.

Start a new thread there. You're not shy now, Hyper!

Any info on this beauty? Marquardt 19 gr856t3
http://www.ebay.de/itm/371186259004?ssP ... 1423.l2649

Presumably MX compatible doubleshots (probably by SP) and Marquardt two finger switches, which are linear and do feel quite good to me, although I don't really like linear switches.

Thank you! Makes it sound even more attractive.

So the two G80-1800 (each 2€) arrived to day the case is only bit yellowed and its has PBT keycaps thin ones, only the spacebar, backspace and both enter keycaps are thick PBT really nice for that price

ps haha just found that there was a mouse in the box too and nice old logitech with a ball in it and Fujizsu Siemens brending

Ergonomic, TKL, USB, and tactile? Amazon sells for a lot less than the recommended retail price.

All depends on what the switches are. Rubber domes can be quite tactile when new, but very few of them age well or type particularly nicely. Topre is the obvious exception (as no bottoming out is required, plus their sky high price includes a good dome material).

GeekHack says it might beamspring. 25 minutes left, 1$ bid.

Wonder if someone from here or GH won. Price seems decent. Definitely looks like a beamspring but I'm not over familiar with the different models. I really hope to track one down some day. It's on my bucket list of keyboards.

Interesting — similar keycaps to old BTC and Keytronic. I wonder what supplier they were using.

Guess we can talk about this beauty now: http://www.ebay.de/itm/Cherry-MY3000-G8 ... 7675.l2557

Who bought it? Someone from Germany or is it going overseas? (turning my head towards South Korea)
