    I tought I bought a emissive keyboard, but the hongkong-joker send me a rubber keyboard.
    So I thought I tried to find a nice emissive chicklet keyboard (CF-WKB193VM) for my CF-19, preferable in Europe.

    PM me if you have one or know one.

    nah, he's avoiding to take it back, saying he send what I saw/bought (which is certainly untrue).
    Why, looking for a rubber keyboard?? Trade it against a emissive backlit? :D

    If you go to his website you'll see that he now only lists 2 rubber keyboards for the CF-18, CF-19. If you are going to fight it thru PayPal you should get screen shots of the page with the emissive keyboard.

    I've made scrprnts of the site, picture of his keyboard, CF-WKB193VM number clearly in view, of the order on my account at his site and I'll make some pictures of the keyboard he send.

    This evening I'll mail him the whole package of pictures and the request to give me back my money as he seems not willing to set his mistake right.
    I didn't mind he made a mistake (annoying, but well, everybody make mistakes) but so far he just trying to stall it.

    I'm really curious what ROB™ will get in his parcel, if it is a emissive or a rubber keyboard. If he send Rob a rubber as well, we will have an even stronger case for Paypal. I'm just not very certain Paypal will be on my side :S

    In the end, we will get screwed over! I hate to say it. This BOZO needs to fix this crap! I can't believe it!

    Might I also mention that you ABSOLUTLY should start a Paypal dispute for the WRONG ITEM RECIEVED! Paypal, WILL, a the LEAST put HIS money on hold that you sent him so he won't have access to his money. If we both do this (once I get mine in the mail and confirm that it is also the wrong item), I'm sure Paypal will provide us both better support.!

    This clown gave me a $70 partial refund of which I accepted. I ended up paying $117 for a brand new rubber keyboard, which in't good, but better than $187.

    NEVER AGAIN!
