I won this board on ebay from one of my favorite sellers (he always has hard to find boards). Key feel is unique. Analogous to monterey blues, albeit a tad slower feeling. It has a deep click, but it's still loud.

Mr. Interface's switch sampler bag first introduced me to orange omrons....I've been searching for a good omron board ever since! :D

"The Wang", nice. Glad you found your stuff.
Are the caps DS?

Unfortunately no. They are printed.

That's pretty good printing - my guess would have actually been Dye-sub going by the fuzzy hairs that are easily visible on the S, D and F keys. Nice board regardless :)

Omron-nom-nom. Very clicky.

Wang used to be the word processing company, so their keyboards were likely designed with a lot of care. The rise of the PC did not bode well for them. Or keyboards!
