WOW! Is this what CF-27/28 keyboards sell for?

http://cgi.ebay.com/Emmisive-backli...iewItemQQptZLaptops_Nov05?hash=item2a0594b2e3

I have a mint backlit keyboard I was going to sell and was trying to see what to sell it for... are they really worth $250???

 

Looks like a very high price for that item. That's actually a rubber one, which generally go for a bit less. Hopefully the buyer realizes what they actually bought although at that high price maybe not. IMHO good rubber keyboards are $50 and up, true emissive for CF-28 (green glow) are $100 and up.

 

What is the true emissive keyboard? I thought the rubber one was the rare one.

I'd trade it for a rubber backlit CF-M34 keyboard!

 

Someone is gonna be pissssssed when then recieve a rubber keyboard when they paid for an emissive one...

 

Some poor tool that doesn't know any better shall I say...

 

I don't get it. The rubber keyboard IS backlit... what's the difference?

 

The rubber one is sealed from water, sand, dirt etc. The emissive one looks and feels and types like a normal keyboard but is backlit (and water proof as well, just that if you get sand or something under the keys then it will be impossible to press them down)...

See the dif?

 

Thats the guy i am talking about on this thread: http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=472384

The poor buyer will gonna be cofused on his detail and description. If it is a brand new one, yah! its not a bad price for those who has the money to burn.

ohlip

 

urm... aren't both rubberized???

 

Well, I have one that's mint and rubber. I'll post it up in the classifieds soon as I know what a fair price is! haha

 

NO! .

 

Are we incapable of reading the FAQ's?!?!??!?!

Look out laddies...I don't know just how big this is going to get and it might just blow!!!!

 

The continued confusion about emissive and backlit makes my hair hurt, but the keyboard isn't even OEM, no hot key legends! I have a couple of brand new ones just like that, Toshiba branded, $225 takes the pair and I'll pay shipping!

If I remember right, there are some Panny emissive keyboards that do not have the legends. Don't the ones with the separate screen and keyboard come lighted but with no legends? Anyway, this isn't rocket science, it is very simple. Lighted rubber, not emissive. Lighted chicklet, emissive. Period. Amen.

Using the pictures borrowed from TomCat, the top one of the three is an emissive and the bottom is the rubber. The one in the picture by itself is a large shot of the emissive used primarily on the CF-29/30 (but can be used on the 28 as it is a 2-wire). The 3-wire chicklet emissive is used on the CF-27/28 and requires the small Texas shaped board. The keys on it look just like a regular CF-29 black keyboard but they are lighted.

 

Thats my way of thinking ...But if you see them for sale some people confuse the issue

I just say backlit rubber or normal backlit,meaning hard keys (emissive)

@ aaron7
A used 2 connector cf-27 style rubber backlite keyboard is worth about $50
A used 3 connector cf-28/cf-29 style rubber backlite keyboard is worth about $75
New from Panasonic they are about $275

That guy is 1. Incorrect and 2. Out of his mind thinking he can get that money... That's why it no-saled....

If you can't read in the stickies or with a few simple searches exactly what the differences are between the keyboards... You should NOT have a Toughbook... Period!

 

Ummm...

1. That guy is ignorant. 2. NOT out of his mind, evidently. It SOLD for $255. He has positive feedback to prove it. Plus, he just sold a similar rubber keyboard for a CF-19 for $175 with positive feedback.

So... either his customers are as ignorant as he is, or there's more than just a rubber keyboard in that package, or this is another one for the W.T.F. files like this nugget here that's been up on eBay for nearly 4 years:

You can't tell me that's NOT someone's money laundering scheme...

cogito.

 

Toughbook must be on a membership drive again
Every time we make a comment on a ebay seller, he signs up on the forum to reply
Here is a recent sale item of his ( he has sold 2 recently)

I sold out of the identical battery and my asking price was $80 for the same thing lol


Alex

 

If you think that one is bad, check this one out...I offered $75 and he counter offered for $1499! The last one I saw on Ebay did not sell for about $150 and he thinks he can get how much!?!?

Could be the same story... or perhaps he found out that 10 years ago these sold for $8000, and he doesn't get that now it's worth more to gut it and use the case for a toolbox, and that was BEFORE the video card and/or LCD monitor died.

Meh... eBay is laughing all the way to the bank on these d@uche-nuggets.

'noid.

 

Wow I cannot believe those last two auctions.

[EDIT] If that kind of junk sells then I need to start buying stuff at the thrift store and unload it on the bay.

 

So the CF-27 rubber lighted keyboard does not fit the CF-28/29 as those have 3 connectors? I thought it fit all of them.

Oh well, $50 almost covers my CF-M34 rubber keyboard! $88 on ebay... crazy!

 

The CF-27 rubber keyboard will also work on the 28/29 even without the third connector this keyboard gets it's backlight power from the top connector.

 

aaron7...Thats how it play now on ebay even a manual, bios and driver are selling now while they can download those item on panasonic website for free. You can see the st.p.d.ty of some buyer, huh!


As T2G said the rubber keyboard from Cf-27 can be install on CF-28 and cf-29 but be prepare to muscle during installation If it is your first time to do it coz the cable ribbon from that keyboard is a bit short.
