Magicforce 82-key mini black mechanical keyboard w/ cable & pink keycaps, tested

Description: Magicforce 82-key mini mechanical keyboard, in good condition, purchased new in 2016. Has white LED backlighting. The switches are Gateron browns, which are pretty similar to Cherry MX browns in feel and were considered smoother around when this keyboard was manufactured. Comes with a set of Tai-Hao ABS cubic profile pink doubleshot keycaps, plus a mini USB (not micro USB) cable. The keyboard and keycaps are recently (as of Sept '24) cleaned and tested by me. All of the keys and LEDs work, and I never had an issue with any of the keyboard functions. Speaking of functions, there are three small DIP switches on the back of the board for customizing the location of some of the keys. You can swap the Windows key with left Alt, swap Caps Lock with left Ctrl, or swap the Windows key with the functions key. You can also use Fn+ several other keys to customize the backlighting effect type, strength, and frequency. Here's an image of the manual from an old Massdrop review, which I verified matches 100% with the actual keyboard functions. Includes instructions for customizing the above options, as well as other keyboard shortcuts: https://massdrop-s3.imgix.net/img_comment%2FiFlDcY7ZQomeq2twItMs_IMG_0230.JPG Wear and tear:I used the keyboard and the keycaps for about 2 years, so the tops of the alpha keycaps are smoothed out, but the legends are still perfectly readable because they're doubleshot (as opposed to printed.)The one broken part is the right stabilizer on the spacebar (last picture), but it doesn't really affect the function of the spacebar while typing, aside from feeling slightly more wobbly. Actuation force is still the same. Selling it now to make room for a new keeb, but this one served me well. It's pretty light and portable while also feeling sturdy. I used it as a daily driver at home.
