That's a pretty sweet deal on the G80-8113HRDUS-2
If you are in the US..
I think it even has diodes for NKRO .

It's still :

Nice find !

I guess you could say the French-Canadian layout is really more French-UK/US layout ..

The real French do it their very own way, as always :
(Note how the numbers are shifted !)

It helps a bit that it's a IBM, the caps have the same ...

Agreed. Imagine having to work for the rest of your life on a ZX81... possibly even worse than typing on a smartphone. Maybe.

It was worse than a smart-phone, at least you don't have to type in all the programs again
every time your smart-phone crashes !

Ooh, cool! Makes sense it would be something good, sensitive and linear. As far as I know they just sample at two points, but a fully tracked system comes to mind!

Reminded me of this :

Knowing Creative, the keyboard is probably just rubber-dome mush ..
Maybe even both of them ...

thanks ..

I've uploaded some photos here :

If somebody wants to add them, please do .
Sorry, but I don't have time to mess about getting it to look nice ..

Is there a difference?

Trying to visualise how those switches function :

In Danish the first one is called 'ventil', the second is called 'radio-rør'(tube,like in US-lingo).
You won't believe how many times Danish Tv has told us the computers at ...

What keyboard is this from ?


Are there some more photos of it somewhere ?

Congratulations - I'm not jealous at all

BTW : 'Magnetic Valve'
is that UK-English 'Valve' or US 'valve' ?

But still, a good price and no 400 sets MOQ to battle with ..

We could have them sent to Guernsey I guess, then someone could smuggle them out of there
and mail them on

4,980 yen and no 400 sets MOQ ?

Hopefully they will make a language-pack or other layouts than English ?

And it has TESLA written all over the place : http://www.ebay.com/itm/BIG-vintage-ger ... 3382585eae

Pure silver by that I mean there's no additional mix metal addition.
Hallmark : 925

Sorry to be smart-alecky, but 925 means 925/1000, so its not pure (the 75/1000 should be copper).

Is that an "Argentium Sterling silver alloy ", which wont get tamished like old silverware?

Pure Silver would ...

OK, that makes sense

Also :
It's a 'English'-language keyboard -
Yet, it has 'AltGr' !!

Just the caps ...
Not to mention the Grey-label Logo/case !!
'JUMP' - 'Send Line' etc etc ..

Yes, they can be made to work ...

the rubber layer is filthy

That caught my attention !
Exactly what 'rubber-layer' do you mean ?
Because 'normal' Model M's don't have it !

Those are [wiki]Cherry M9[/wiki] switches. For some reason, MY and M9 were more popular with typewriters than they were with computers. Computers tended to go with M8.

Before there was computer-keyboards .. Typewriters ruled the World !

Are the STEMS to big or ....?
EXACTLY how don't the caps ...

Seriously, we should stop discussing this 'in public'

i paid a lot times for the ANSI only users, now they can pay for me to get my language pack. ;)

I don't think it's that easy. What did we actually pay for the ANSI users? We joined some GBs, but we didn't participate to help them in first place, but to get the nice sets that wouldn't be availabe ...

That business will be pioneered, but probably not by Lego
Nope, the Kirk Kristiansen family will spend some of their billions on lobbying the politicians

Some of those new sets look like heavily pixelated Airfix-sets !

I would spend the cash on buying a bunch of TA-typewriters instead,

But I'm pretty certain all the UK-layout guys would love it .

Yes, that's the right word !

Of course there are certain keys in each set that sets them apart but if a few touch typists are fine with blanks then we can accommodate for that easily
That's what I thought when first infected by the cap-virus -
Or that I could live with using a German-layout set .
