I was almost sure that you were bidding on it! Gave up at 30€.

A matrix keyboard with a rather unusual CapsLock concept and an interesting numpad solution:

Ahh.. that's a smith premier typewriter in that link kbdfr?!?

[XMIT]

kbdfr's remarks are still valid. Seems right to me.

[seebart]

Sure I was expecting something else though.

[kbdfr]

The typewriter has two sets of keys, one for uppercase, one for lowercase.
It is a "rather unusual CapsLock concept", isn’t it?

I would also contend that having number keys in columns on either side of the alphas
(except for 1 and 0, for which l and O are used) is an "interesting numpad solution"

[…] the infinite, wonderful resources of language. […]

guys i need help ! i am |.| < this close to buying that ansi ready 107. i want it but its so expensive

[chzel]

You are strong...No rare full metal keyboard can bend your will!
Not one with so many keys...
You have no desk space (that's my excuse!)...
It's missing caps!
I am out of arguments...

Why don’t you just buy it?
It will look sooooo nice on your desk.
And who knows when you will have the chance again?

[XMIT]

Just PM orihalcon to see if you can work something out. You can always have him ship the board to my house and I can bundle it with a big UK shipment. I'm going to resell some of orihalcon's Soarer's Converters as part of my keyboard sales so he's going to be mailing me a bunch of stuff anyway.

Don't forget, I will give anyone 10% off of anything that I have up on eBay if they PM me and buy through direct PayPal invoice instead of eBay. I can do free USA shipping to XMIT as he mentioned as well.

I also do additional discounts if you buy multiple items, whether it be other keyboards, controllers, or Soarer's converters, etc.

[andrewjoy]

so tempted , if you have not sold by 14th i may take you up on that ( the ansi ready one)

as far as i know unicomp will do a custom set for it right ?

Contact Unicomp for specific details, but, they do custom key sets for a number of things. Some others have done this I think to get the front printed Fkey legends on the number row.

Heh, I'm planning on painting mine industrial gray as well when it floats to the top of my project stack. Keyboard sales first.

[andrewjoy]

i was planning it with my 122 as well but i liked the original look.

i have 2 XT top cases so i may get one of them done too

The F107's that I've got have the F1-F12 on the number row to begin with which is nice. If you wanted to get different colored keys, I think Unicomp can make them.

[XMIT]

I think the trouble is that, though they say F1-F12, the shift modifiers are wrong for ANSI. For example the thing above a 6 is ^ on ANSI keyboards not ¬.

They will. I have a custom set on mine.
