XMIT · 22 Jul 2015, 14:36

Yes, the second one is clearly a rubberdome (just noticed that there are some keycpas missing)

You can usually tell by the arrow keys but not always most of the time MX has the yellow arrows

things to look for ( but not 100% rule)

Cream case usually but not always = rubber dome
no yellow legends on caps = 99.9% of the time rubber dome
grey case 99% of the time = MX blacks
all the MX boards are doubleshot as far as i know ( some thin some thick) so if it has faded lettering = rubber dome

thats all the advice i have about wyse

How can you tell? I usually look at the LEDs.

It helps that I have about 50 similar keyboards in the garage. No one is buying them so the number remains constant.

The giveaways for me:
- FTnn label on lower right corner on rear of keyboard, where nn is a two or three digit number;
- style of printed label on rear of keyboard;
- key caps, coloring, legends

Prove me wrong, I would love to be wrong!

andrewjoy · 22 Jul 2015, 16:45

If you ever part them out i could go for some spare foil and foam pads/sliders

What for? The keyboard I sent you, or something else? Maybe start a new thread for that.

photekq · 23 Jul 2015, 00:12

I had the spy open for a few hours and came back to see something along the lines of..

"Who was the lucky one who got this?" and I seem to remember the ebay url saying something like "5x classiker tastatur".

When I clicked it the post was gone! What did I miss? :S

Lol not saying you are wrong just didn't know how you could tell. I can't even get anyone to take my foam and foil board for free.

Who was the lucky one to get this one ?

idollar · 23 Jul 2015, 08:03

According to the seller this one has been used for about 1-2 years, but is still in very good condition with the original box.

I won't be bidding. Good luck to those who might be.

Chance is a nice guy that likes to restore keyboards. He is registered here and drops by on rare occasions. I have bought from him. He's a fair seller. He has keyboard knowledge.

and there is a M µ key we know who should buy that

EDIT

check out the multiply and divide caps too , some loverly caps on that keyboard

page up and down are cool too

seebart · 23 Jul 2015, 11:18

I'm not saying anyone should buy this Andrew! I have dealt with the guy, he was fair. That's all.

And I'm so not sure that you can handle that Mµ key...

The price on that M is hefty, for us. His keyboards and work are super clean though.

Anyone looking for an M...

Halvar · 23 Jul 2015, 13:03

I think the price is OK considered that it is cleaned and USB converted. He should give more details on how the USB conversion was done. But it's true, his prices are never exactly moderate.

Beware! The keyboards are rubberdomes, quite bad ones even.

Are those doubleshots? The legends seem a bit pale.

Nonetheless, interesting R3 Control!

XMIT · 23 Jul 2015, 17:36

That NCR board is tempting. I have two here that look just like it without the function keys up top. The ones I have at home are doubleshots, likely GMK, extremely sharp udnersides.

This keyboard would be a great home for Round 5 or Round 5a.
