Well, maybe post offices actually look at people's ages?
For example Photekq is a highschool kid (no offence meant) so, maybe he has some leeway because of this (students usually have all kind of benefits).
The rest of us, who finished our studies and are employed or have businesses are subjected to the full brunt of taxes.
But this is a hunch and I may be wrong.
But if I'm not wrong, then Photekq will suddenly become the most popular guy in the British DT minority

Nope. It's all done remotely. You just get a card in the mail. They don't care who you are. They just want your money, or the hostage is getting bumped!

All mine get delivered to a business address, so I doubt that

If I were to ever get a separate numpad, I'd be buying one of the cheap Alps pads. I've found Alps to feel much better to me. I'd probably get one of them from China for $15 and swap out the clones for SKCM Blues or something.

Beamspring is the only numpad for me. Otherwise I'll never surpass that husky sledding git and his Hall effect behemoth. (I'm sure he's lovely, really. But damn it, this is keyboard war!)
First I'll need a second desk to put it on. And, um, some numbers to type…

Should be domes, like the matching ergo keyboard by siemens (fujitsu/nixdorf).

Probably rubber dome.

Yeah, definitely rubber dome. No Nixdorf blacks unfortunately

Yes. Dell also used the same slider for some of the rubber domes they have made (and I bought one from a fleamarket a year ago when I really did not know how Alps looked
).
Here are some more details
ALPS keyboard made in South Korea with shiny keycaps (a Dell AT101W without markings?):

Haha I was just about to post that one xD . Next to the old-logo AT101 and new-logo AT101, we now also have the no-logo AT101 xD .
It's made by Goldstar Alps though, and has a completely different FCC ID. So it could be anything. If anyone gets this, let us know what's in it!

Interesting this thing looks like a epson hx 20, but with a other branding
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epson_HX-20
unfortunately the keycaps are not cherry mx compatible and you can also buy a epson hx 20 for a much cheaper price.

I'll not bid on it, but I was interested on the ISO Enter/2.75u shift and ps/2 cable (
http://deskthority.net/want-to-buy-f56/ ... t8378.html). So if anyone grabs it for the case and caps, please sell me that spares afterwards!

I'd be interested in getting one if there is a free spot!

Sure. I'll post an update here if this works out.

So the seller relisted the five G80-3700 HQAUS at $60, so he either has more than five or he reads this forum

The TI keyboard is picked up!
Good news - it is definitely Micro Switch Hall effect!
Even better news - it is huge, has a key, and has some really retro backlit keys using tiny little light bulbs!
The only sad news is that the key profile is all flat - similar to SA Row 3 - instead of scooped/profiled, my preference.
Photos tonight. Or maybe tomorrow night. Photos soon.

Bulbs are cool. Even if they're not Micro Switch.

Translucent caps to disperse the glow. I haven't seen them lit up. Yours should be sweet!

From the same seller as the one above:

Does it have Buckling Springs?
