Want to share some pictures of a Digital Equipment VT101 Terminal. :)
With doubleshots and some own keycap-system with square stems,
Unfortunately only some blurry mobilephone pics :(

Great find!

Just scale them and they don't look blurry at all!

Switch reminds me of NMB Space Invaders.

Damn, if I google I just get my own wikis. Luckily I never uploaded this one.

Razer Marketing used them instead of the proper Blue MX because they read the OCN Mechanical Keyboard Guide wrong. ROFL, Jason you NOOB!

Categorise your thread as [photos] with the drop-down menu (when you edit the OP). Looking good!

I've seen a few keyboards that use that switch, including a HP programmable desktop calculator from the 70s.

The keyboard in the first post is called an LK101, FWIW.

I found something at goodwill a while ago BNIB with these switches and some really sexy white on grey DS keycaps.

The spring is also similar in the DEC switches...it clumps up in the middle like the Hi-Tek switches.
