This older 745 model is also nice (but overpriced!)

As is this 733 KSR

That is funny because I was eyeing that one but it's a bit too pricey. It does look like an interesting machine.

What a sexy looking beast

Pity no one makes a Ryzen setup which looks like this, then I would buy it immediately.

Looks like the Commodore PET and a Texas Instruments terminal cross pollinated.

NMB dome with slider. If you're looking for Space Invaders, this isn't the board you're looking for.

Thanks, guys. I was on the fence because I don't like single unit Backspace keys. Now I know not to get it.

Overpriced for a FK-2001, especially a very late model (winkeys and power keys) but the custom mods might be interesting to someone:

If it wasn't a BAE layout it would have been a cool board to swap out with Matias switches.

BAE with a full size backspace is better than ANSI

fight me

ok, maybe for usability. NOT for looks.

DEFINITELY for looks! XD The 2001 is a great-looking board

Not to youngster's who worship Razer and Logitech RGBness

If the Focus had 'Vegas Lighting', then watch them get snapped up fast without haste.

The 2001's an okay board-- I had a few many years ago. I wouldn't want that one though, since it does that moronic "move the editing block down to put a sleep and wake button nobody uses" in place. I think some of the latest ones also use lasered keycaps instead of doubleshots.

Yeah, I agree, the position of the nav buttons isn't ideal, and the caps are probably pad printed. It's not as good-looking as the older models. Still auite pretty IMO though

Snagged this for $53.30 shipped.

MX Blacks and dye sublimated caps. Pretty neat.

Any idea who made these caps? Cherry???

ohaimark · 22 Dec 2017, 15:23

I'll look into it when they arrive. Ivan theorized that they were SP caps.

Pretty nice for SP caps, though...

If ya use Vim like me then the leader key is now far from the home row on a BAE board

Think it's waffle grid switches.

Would be very likely. I have a HP 2623A - uses Stackpole and/or Hi-Tek

What I don't understand now, is why isn't anyone going to create keyboard's that look like this one above?

I would buy it instantly if it can work with any current version of Winblows or Nix.

Now here is a cherry board that is really longing for the alps ...

Seems like I may be put into a "box" of people who like "old stuff". In fact, I like the history of innovation and that's what is in my collection. The stuff just happens to be old and there are keyboards attached

Here is my latest input device that arrived yesterday...

Spoiler:

Not so old, huh?

Slom · 23 Dec 2017, 17:53

It was not my intention to put you into a box

Just having some fun. I adore your collection of old stuff with computer attached!
