Hi, I'm new here so pardon me if something I say is completely wrong.

I recently got a keyboard dug up from the 1990s. It's an ICL 16022/032 according to the stamp on the back of the keyboard. As far as I'm able to see it's a spring on top of membrane keyboard. Does anyone have more experience with it?




Sorry, best pic I had from my stupid ass phone


As far as I know its something between "true" mech keyboards and shitty membrane ones.

Any experience would be much appreciated!

I think I saw bigfoot in one of those pictures!

Hard to tell from the detail pictures, but it indeed looks like hammer over membrane/dome. But they could also be ICL switches. See if they look anything like this?

Hm...I'm looking for something with ICL switches.

ICL switches, just like those nokia keyboards.

I love how that page is blocked at school...

sixty needs an alternative domain with something harmless... keyboardkittens.com or something

Sent the seller a message....

Is there a rubber dome beneath the spring? How does the keys feel?

It is quite hard to see in the picture, but I think that it looks a lot like a variation of the Fujitsu Peerless, although not exactly identical. There are pictures of a switch in the eighth post of this recent thread.

Fujitsu has made a lot of ICL's hardware when ICL was its own company, then Fujitsu bought ICL. Fujitsu may have used the ICL brand before they switched to "Fujitsu ICL" and later to "Fujitsu Siemens", especially in the UK because ICL was British.

I see dead people.

Hey, thanks for the replies! Sorry about the bad picture quality, but all I had was an old Nokia phone.

It looks very similar, I'd say almost identical to the Fujitsu Peerless judging by the pics and info in the thread you linked, Findecanor.

Feels amazing to type on! Now I just have to clean it out since its full with years and years of dust and other stuff.
