Keyboards:
- Tarheel blue Portico75. Production PCB, prototype color case. $125 shipped OBO.
- Portico68 v2 - these are an as yet unreleased second edition of the Portico68 with the new revision PCB that's based on the Portico75 PCB. No RGB LED issues, uses a USB-C daughterboard. The PCBs are production quality - these were made after the Portico68 Black Labels (common PCB and daughterboard). Have three different color prototypes:
- Forrest green - $100 shipped OBO.
- Sky blue - $100 shipped OBO.
- Transparent red/pink - $100 shipped OBO.
- TKC Executive TKL prototype. 1 of 2 made, unlikely to enter production. Manufactured by Dadesin according to TKC's design files. The PCB uses a USB-C daughterboard that is not included and was not completed. The PCB is untested, and while it was ordered to be a functional prototype it may or may not work. The daughterboard is not the normal daughterboard from either the Portico or the GodSpeed/M0lly. You may be able to make an ai03 daughterboard fit, no guarantees. Firmware was not written for the board aside from what the factory may have flashed on there for testing, and I no longer have access to design files in order to provide documentation. If you buy this keyboard expecting it to be a usable prototype, expect to put in some work. It would be far better suited as a collectible display piece. $450 shipped OBO.
- TKC Industry75 prototype. 1 of 2 made, unlikely to enter production. This one does have a USB connector that works and the board does boot up at least some of the time. The connector was very sensitive to the positioning of the USB cable when I tested it, it might have been my cable or the connector may need replaced. There is a firmware on it, no guarantees on whether the matrix is correctly configured. The keboard reports as a Portico75, without VIA enabled. I no longer have access to design files in order to provide documentation. If you buy this keyboard expecting it to be a usable prototype, expect to put in some work. It would be far better suited as a collectible display piece. $450 shipped OBO.
Keycaps:
- Maritime - two different blues with a light gray legend & reversed accents in a nautical theme. Full coverage layout for most keyboards (includes numpad), asking $75 shipped OBO.
- Rocket - direct port of earlier SA set to IFK Cherry profile. Turned out really well although the second round was going to refine color match a bit. Full coverage layout for most keyboards (includes numpad), asking $75 shipped OBO.
- Kitty - no idea why this set is named that. It's an older prototype, so no cool Prototype box. Full coverage layout for most keyboards (no numpad), asking $60 shipped OBO.
- Seafoam - nice light mint green color. It's an older prototype, so no cool Prototype box. Full coverage layout for most keyboards (includes numpad), asking $75 shipped OBO.
Switches:- Watermelons- Tangerine Dark- Banana Split- Safety yellow transparent (reference next to GMK Night Runner)- Safety yellow opaque (reference next to GMK Night Runner)- DragonfruitAll switches have labels on the bag that clearly indicate what their specs are. Adding to that, these are all long pole switches. Each bag is ~100 switches. all sold
I want to stress again these are prototype switches and do not mirror their retail counterparts 100%. Each bag $50 shipped OBO. Willing to accept reasonable offers, and will discount if you're buying multiple items.
