[rescue] WTB (EU) - Sun Type 7 keyboard & mouse

[Ville Laustela]

Hi everyone.

I’ve been working on my Sun Ultra 20. While not vintage or really that special (it’s really just a PC) it’s still a pretty machine (love the case with the big logo on the side panels and the front grill) and has at least some premium feel in the construction. I managed to install a combination of Solaris 10, Windows XP and Debian 12 (LXQT desktop) linux on it. Solaris for the context, XP for personal retro uses and Debian for those ”this can actually do modern stuff too” moments :)

I’d love to have the matching Sun keyboard and mouse for it. I had a look on eBay but most supply was in US, or a bit too expensive for my taste (over 100EUR with shipping, which feels a bit much as I paid less than half for the computer itself!). I was wondering if anyone on this list would be in EU and have some extras for sale?

I guess I’d prefer the Type 7 keyboard (with the USB passthru port for the mouse). I’ve been using a slim Dell usb keyboard, and it has somewhat similar rectangular look as the Type 7, which I think looks right for the Ultra 20. For the mouse I’d like the optical Type 7 one. Even better if the word Oracle was NOT mentioned in the casing :) Needing cleaning or reasonable amount of yellowing wouldn’t be an issue. Hoping to pay less than 100EUR including shipping, if that’s reasonable. I’m located in Helsinki, Finland. PayPal and IBAN transfer would be fine.

Thanks.
