IP-1548/G (Military Terminal) keyboard

[schwi]

i wanted to make a thread on this thing for a bit, but i was too busy sleeping, my apologies.

i got this board off ebay, where it had sat for a while, and have posted images here and there, i suppose.

so, here it is in full, or something.

the board uses microswitch sd keycaps, but the switches are clare pendar. the top housing has slider adapters, which press on the switch on the inside of the board.

theres also a buckling sleeve to prevent dust frim getting in, which adds tactility. the switches themselves are linear and magnetic reed.

there seems to be a virtually identically built board with actual honeywell here...

the board weights ~5kg, and the case is entirely metal.

so, yeah.

Thank you for sharing. Quite a tank

I'm curious about SD keycaps. Where can I find out more about them?

i'm not sure where you can find more info tbh, these ones they seem to be pbt and the legends are engraved in. the z cap which has been replaced however is doubleshot.
