Guys I though this was a model F but the guy sent me more pics, no logo and strange switches... what is it??

EDIT: could it be that it is a DYTCOM Model K-150L?

I came here to read about interesting new finds not someone arguing, could I kindly ask you to stop it? It's really distracting. Thanks!

Thanks, I will update you guys if I manage to get something out of this great keyboard.

Guys, thanks a lot for the answers! I will try to post a bit more on the board but I am finishing my thesis right now so I am a bit busy to make a good review. I founded on a second hand Italian web-site, it feels like a cheap board and it's quite light (def below 1 kg).



But the switches are ...

No one?

Dear all,

I have googled and googled and searched around this and the other forum but I had no luck.
This amazing keyboard

normal

An Omnikey 101 (great case and NKRO), and Orange switches (correct spring weight and switch plate) with pine white click leaves, will get you a really nice board that is mostly indistinguishable from Alps Blues if it is clean. You could combine an AEK I and an Omnikey to get this.

It would ...

Hi guys, I got one for 50 EUR shipped. Problem is that it uses an ADB port, someone has done something with a trackball and ADB? I know there are a lot of converters to USB but they are for keyboards and not for mouse...

Catch of the day:

Could be Hi-Tek Series 725 but I'm not sure really.

I think you're right, seebart. The caps look very similar to space-invaders boards.

Almost impossible to tell for sure this way. I don't like these guesses.

Guys thanks a lot, I did not want ...

Guys I have bought this one, http://www.ebay.it/itm/122432633764?_tr ... .S2.R1.TR3

I would be interested in buying it, I live in Italy, UK, and CH, could you please try to get an estimate for the shipping? I guess is not going to be cheap.

I want to buy this keyboard but I have no idea how much money I should pay for it, suggestions?
Is the Ampex 230.

What switches is the Ampex 230 using?

Any possibility for an ISO option?

It was actually from subito.it but thanks for the answer.


Have you ever heard of a pin ampex 220 plus keyboard?

I found an IBM with 122 keys, they say that the s/n is 1394109, never seen it before. You guys confirm it is a model M and not F right?

Basically they're like rubberdomes with old, stiffened rubber — the keys have to be hit really hard to get them to register.
I never saw the hatred people have for these switches [...] a lot better than anything MX-like IMO.
I did not like them at all exactly for the reson that Daniel is using ...

Maybe I should not have trashed them

Interesting, a photo with a switch pulled to show the membranes. I never thought to do that with mine. Would make a good wiki photo if the keyboard were cleaned up. Well, if it wasn't now in the bin, anyway.
I still have it, describe what type of picture you would like so that it can go in the ...

Dear all,
This is an x-post I made on reddit.
I have collected some photos of this horrible keyboard http://imgur.com/a/hCHvm
And I have made a video of the sound of the switches https://youtu.be/PyjT6mZUEkM
Enjoy

NIB Fenner MSX SPC-800, I have no idea if the keyboard is nice http://www.subito.it/informatica/person ... 383516.htm

Ciao again! I found three Viglen (Acer) 6312-TW, what should I do with these? I was thinking to keep the keycaps and put the keyboard in the bin, they are quite dirty and god this switches feel horrible.

I did not buy them, there is a guy that is selling them

Where is over here?

bell peppers wrote: what about UK prices? USD doesnt mean much to me

It should be in the region of 140-180 GBP depending on how much it rattles. I personally not buy a blue label one, the older ones are muuuuuch better (IMHO)

OK I have found some 50 keyboards in an Italian market, I think there are some interesting findings like some IBM or Chicony but overall to me they all look rubberdome, what do you think? Are you interested in any?
