Gone. I proxied that one Haata has and it felt and sounded pretty interesting, but was very scratchy, still I couldn't resist :D
Congrats! I'd be interested to see what you do with it.
Can't believe I didn't see the number pad too. If only I had more time...

If I remember correctly the PCB the switches were on was pure chaos so that will be fun... :cry:
Need to get more Teensys I think!

Looking at HaaTa's pictures I'd describe it as a work of art. Deciphering the matrices looks like a project in itself.
With that sort of construction, I'd wonder if compatible microswitches could be sourced to change the feel.

Silicon Graphics looking good...

The seller writes the mouse is attached to the keyboard, is that normal for the SGI ?

This Milspec keyboard looks interesting, especially at the listed price ($8) The zero key is stuck but I guess that wouldn't stop people here.

Looks really great. If it where in Europ, I would take it.

Key caps look like a mix of Round 4 and Round 5.

This item was up for auction two weeks ago but hasn't been sold. I was too lazy to ask the seller about the model :oops:

My SGI Granite doesn't have a connector for a mouse.

Yes, that does look interesting. At only $8, I was going to get it, but it says "Note that we cannot ship anything outside of the US." Bummer.

I wonder what is the point of the blue "S" "K" and "B" keys. (maybe some military crap we are unaware of)

It looks almost like an Ohio Scientific keyboard:

$17 for me... Very tempting.

EDIT: Took it for myself. Not real sure of the protocol for these "interesting finds" threads, so hopefully I didn't "steal" it from someone. For $17, I couldn't pass it up.

That's a serious connector! Nice indicator too. I wonder what logic is inside the case...

A tribute to the "random" blue keys should be possible with Round 5 black alphas; the list in the Round 4 leftovers topic might be out of date now, but last I knew (3 weeks ago) 7bit still had 4 SPH/R3U100/K/BLUE and a SPH/R3U100/S/BLUE in stock (but not B, and it wouldn't have be row 4 anyway).

It's first come first served I guess. That seems fair to me anyway. Glad to see someone buying it. I don't know why, but this morning I felt compelled to type "Milspec Keyboard" in Google Image, and this caught my eye instantly. Seeing the price I knew I had to post it here.

I'd also like so pics of that when you get it.

Thanks for posting it! I'll make sure to document the whole thing inside and out, as soon as I get it.

Shipping is way too high for me. It would be interesting to see the switches (probably Stackpole). The keycaps look weird - either labels stuck on or separate pieces snapped into the keycap.
