Had no time to disassemble it yet, will do so later or tomorrow. Instead I scanned the docs it came with. Turns out its from early 1981, making it older than myself.

I bet those open switches were susceptible to dust. Still, I bet they were a better low-profile switch than the MLs.

I was three when that keyboard was made.

I like those open switches, but how do they feel?

Like MX Blacks cut in half. Most are pretty bad in keyfeel. Some are okay. I guess a lot of dust got inside of the last 30 years and they probably need lubing. I might do that tonight.

I wonder if those are the original Cherry MX key switches.
