It wasn't on the ad, though. I asked it to the seller.
They didn't need any other pictures! I've seen Nixie PCBs go for a lot more, naked.

I got it 
Thank you hypkx for removing the link on my request.. I'd seen it before and really didn't want to see it get to some dumb price.

You guys really got me curios about the Nixdorf switches
Posted: 15 Jul 2015, 17:25
Get saving.
I've only got a single switch, so I don't really know what a full board is like. Unlikely to ever know unless Photekq cares to send one on a tour! I suspect a whole board feels pretty nice. As good as Topre? I don't know.

Well like so many nice things nixies are kinda rare. I don't own any. I have tried them and I can't really tell you more cause it was a loooong time ago.

photekq you should be on IRC, so I could yell on you. And then put my knee down and ask for pity.

Damn you cherry picker !!! Now you have more Nixies 
Nixie Blacks are nice, smooth and that milky top looks really nice on a keyboard, not like those Gatorades
I have one on Esc on all my boards, that is all I could afford, I got also couple as a gift from HzFaq, nice switches but I can live with vintage blacks, much cheaper and easier to get, maybe a little less softer but again something I can live with.
There is also a limited batch of MX Black Cherry produced around the end of 90's, those are very smooth too and have some characteristics unique to that period, when I will have more time I will post some info.

The tops are black, but the slider is slightly brownish and the notch is on the other side.

In the spirit of our good friend lardarse Return, why not glob other keys together? Who really needs to close brackets? Or to type even numbers? GO FATTY GO!@!@

I'd love to try a Nixdorf switch someday. Would be cool to add to my collection.

Anyone know what the interface is for these Wyse keyboards please and what the keyswitches/caps are?
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-Brand ... 6016.l4276
Looks like PS/2 and Cherry vintage blacks with double shot keycaps but I could be wrong. I have been before.

BTC slider over domes, printed caps

OK thanks - need to go more vintage clearly! Cheers, Mark.

BTC does with slider are actually pretty good IMO, I recently made a post about them. Of course, they're not truly mechanical, though.

Anyone up for a baby group buy of Cherry G80-3700HQAUS-0 Numeric Keypads?

I've already sent a PM to anyone who registered their interest earlier. It's first past the post now for whoever sends me a PM for an invoice.

A guy on Tradera just put up a Acer 6083,

Would probably have bought it if it wasn't German but decided it wasn't worth it at that price.
