Welcome back bud

This is the stuff of nightmares.

It's not that bad, sure was nice not lugging a computer around with me around the world. And now I'm used to doing everything on my phone, and that's gotten a lot easier than when I started on my Sony Ericsson Xperia active.


So... what typewriter do you have ...

Nice to see a familiar face!

Tempted to finally pick up a G80-1800 but I haven't even used my computer for nearly 7 years new (jeez time flies ) so it's hard to justify

Looks like Ascaii hasn't been on in ages. He was a good dude. He was cutting down when he was still here so I'm not surprised he left entirely.

Real life and family is more important than keyboards after all.

I myself stopped coming around since I haven't had a computer for over 4 years now

You'll be disappointed in me here guys, I've been using the Google keyboard exclusively for the last year and a half..

How's it going? What have you fellas been up to?

Well, I'll be darned. A (almost) Norwegian layout 75% keyboard in a mahogany case. Someone actually beat me to it. Nice work!

Amstrad keyboard, most likely some bad linear switch.

This is the first of these threads of yours that I don't even have a clue where to start to find out.
edit: (well, I found a pic of it on my first google search term but that didn't help at all)

Best of both worlds?

From the pictures it looks like it could at least be an interesting switch, if not even a good one.

Considering it has DS cherry caps it is most likely MY (or MX).

Yes, and I should pay more attention. Turns out I have no idea how the sidewinders work.

It is a printed resistor, printed directly on the membrane.

I don't know the patent number, but I wouldn't be surprised if someone else here knew it.

EDIT: I think I found them:

It is possible to have diodes in the membrane, you'd just have to license it from Microsoft. They use it in their sidewinder keyboards.

These look a lot better than the gray at least. I think they look more modern than the gray ones as well.

Nah, these are white. The Ambras are tinted blue.

Well, tinnie got my vote, because he found freaking NIB DS white on black cherry caps. The only thing I wanted to be found!

(I'm sorry Haata)

It's not a G81-3430? Interesting...

Will be interesting to see how much HaaTas votes are slip up.

Awesome stuff, nice find!

Mexican plastic shit most likely.

7007L is dyesub.

One of many interesting video editing related keyboards with cherry switches. The one with the red trackball is cooler though.

Time extended once again...

It uses Futaba switches, that thing doesn't even look anything remotely like the picture in the auction...

The other one is a Focus FK-2002.

Silitek/LiteOn keyboard, branded Win under Silitek and LiteOn under LiteOn. First made in Taiwan then later in Malaysia (both those branded Win and LiteOn have been made in Malaysia)

(I should probably mention that most of this is only correct when talking about the BIGASS-ANSI version, SK-00A2-1U ...
