Easy upgrade, just a few screws to swap with your existing keyboard, don't need to disassemble the case.

That is a great price. If I didn't already have one I'd grab one. This is the best upgrade for everyday use. I used to hate using my CF-19 at night. Now I use it all the time.

Hello. I will love one of the keyboards. Two problems. Will you mail one to Canada? Second, have no money until January 07.2011 (pay day). Will you hold one for me? Thanks, Merry Christmas, Voytek.

 

I call dibs on one. Funny I was just eyeing an ebay auction as I could never get used to the rubber keyboard. If I get it anyone want a lightly used rubber one for cheap?

 

Let me know how much for the rubber one should you decide to sell. Thanks!

 

Just an update. Received today and it is awesome. Fast shipping and super packaging. You pack stuff like I do, lol, super safe. Thanks, Springfield!

 

Would you sell one to someone who signed up for a forum account today because of this thread? I may be unknown around these parts, but I did this. Also, may have a rubberized for sale soon

 

That's a great page and your efforts will no doubt prove real helpful to someone. But sorry to say these keyboards are pretty much all gone now -- 2 sold and the last has a deposit on it.

You can still get them new from several sellers on FleaBay ...

 

ah well, thanks anyway. I went here:
Panasonic CF-WKB193VM Keyboard

Despite them having a ridiculous name and a hokey looking website, I had a new emissive keyboard plus a new cable cover in three days. Although, I should note, it arrived in a (padded) envelope which could easily have been bent.

Okay, I am curious, and can't find the answer to this in the FAQs: what makes the plastic keyboard "emissive" and the rubber keyboard not "emissive"? They both emit light, do they not? Does it have to do with the lighting technologies used?
