CF19 Emissive KB - Where to Buy

I have now ordered this KB from 3 different places on line and each one has eventually cancelled my order. What is the deal with this keyboard. Do I have to apply for a permit to get one or something? Its easier to buy a gun!!!



Where is a good place to get one at a reasonable price?

There is a mandatory 14 day waiting period to purchase such harsh items for the CF-19.

Not your typical retailer name or website, but I have successfully ordered from Universal Mania. They have a CF-WKB193VM listed.

Sorry for offtop. I can't understand why this keyboard is so expensive. CF-29's emissive is ~USD 50. I will wait for this price

It's a nice add-on ,if you can afford it

They are around $275 , the same as the cf-29/30 ,for new

The reason you don't see used models on the market is that they keyboard has only been available for less than a year

There is no used on the market

I paid $100 for my cf-19 rubber keyboard,

I was not willing to spend the extra $ as the keys are a bit small for my tastes and for typing I use the full size on my cf-30

I've paid $50 for my CF-19 rubber keyboard and have a new plastic keyboard as a spare. More than 200 bucks for keyboard sounds hmmmm crazy for me

Rubber keyboards are DIRT cheap because NO ONE wants them...... The emmisive ones are in HIGH demand and LOW production...

It's a nice keyboard



I pay $40 for the new basic stock type cf-29 type, the tablets are not common so your spare cf-19 if in good shape is worth over $50

If you have a $400 laptop ,yes $200 might be a crazy price

Backlit keyboards are a nice feature though and Panasonic is not known for walmart pricing

I have noticed over the years here that quite a few members have expensive newer Toughbooks

Any of the cf-19/74/30/31 are $2000+ if purchased new

Personaly the highest I have paid was $3000 for a new CF-30, c/w that nice expensive backlit keyboard as an option

I still have my original emmisive from when I had my CF-29 waaaaaay back in high school (which was April of 2005) - I've carried it through my CF-30 and now it's on my brand new CF-31... It's pretty worn out but I love it and it just keeps ticking! It just goes to show...
