Ahh, thought it was a rebranded Acer KB-101A, eh?
Yeah, because the FCC ID ends in KB101 and the manufacturer is Acer. I guess this is the non-A model then xD .
Shame, I'd have loved to have others try one out

Haha, I didn't even notice the FCC ID. Looks like the non-A is really really not grade A like the real deal.

With "eraser nub"! Well that's handy -- so you don't have to open the keyboard when you need a rubber to erase something!
(It's actually not a half bad keyboard, but who buys a rubber dome keyboard that has been heavily used? Price is ridiculous.)

I've been considering this one for a while, but decided to pass on it.. Someone here should definitely buy it. Very good price.

Forget the cuteness.. Check the keycaps! Cherry doubleshots with those lovely sublegends.

Why do UK ISO boards always have to be shiny?

If he really sold that Minitouch Plus for 95$, I wouldn't even be surprised if he gets 2k for the Dario keyboard.

$95 for a BTC-5100?! WHAT?!
BTC 5100 (Siig Minitouch Plus) with BTC Slider-over-Dome-over-PCB Switches - NIB - the BEST rubber domes of all time, similar to Topre
[...]
Extremely rare. LAST ONE.
Apart from being utter bullshit, who would pay $95 for this?!?

Yup. The seller knows he's onto gold, so he made sure everyone who's interested will find it. Still, I hope the winner is someone from here and that they love it as much as I love my KB101A!

Looks like some cool cherry caps. Incompatible enter keys and whatnot, but still fun.
I'll be bidding on that Blue ALPS board. I want to try a trackball. It's going to get ugly, so wish me luck.

As far as I know, the integrated trackballs don't usually work on modern systems with these old boards, but I could be very very wrong.
Yeah, if someone paid $153 + shipping for an NTC 6151ER in shit condition, I'd not doubt that someone's going to pay a lot more for this guy, considering its condition and that it has a box.
But who knows, maybe not!
Thankfully not my cup of tea, so I won't go crazy over trying to get this. Though I did eye up webwit's Accodata Keycat when it was up for sale, but only because I had NO blue Alps boards and was desperate.
Needless to say, this is pretty cool nonetheless.

People usually go nuts over TA, don't they?
I'd love to see this retrobrighted, just to see how many people gasp and denounce the said retrobrighter's actions, haha.
OH THE PATINA! D:

Serial to USB adapters make those old trackballs rock and roll, from what I understand. (heh) Windows has a pretty good library of generic drivers.
Worst case scenario... I lose. -shrugs- At least the non-DT bidders will suffer.
I'm hoping that Christmas shopping has exhausted rival bidders' wallets.

The price is really good for a NIB Spanish doubleshot Cherry board. Also, it's from 1988, which is something you don't see too often - first year of 1000 series manufacture!
