Great/Interesting Finds

[thebluefox]

It`s not listed anywhere Just someone I bought some other keyboards from...

One is S.M. A339B with white Alps buckling spring .

Two are with compatible keycaps for Cherry MX .

One of them is listed here: photos-f62/clicker-a-semi-mechanical-al ... ogapc%2021

The Zenith is identical with : http://kbd.rzw.jp/keytronic/zenith_e05009001/

Yeah it may be nice Tom but at that ludicrous price one could get a entire new luxury office.

Yeah, I know, I just wanted to say the word "textverarbeitungstastatur" .

[Funis21]

Maybe ask for pictures from the bottom of the keyboard before paying another 20€ for shipping...

Good luck on that one, bold move!

Hmmmmm, not Nixdorfs. Seller said it was made in Japan, on the back: "Nixdorf Computer, Made in Japan, 6527 00, 4004919". Looks like a topre slider, but at the same time, also no? Anyone have any idea what this is?

[Chyros]

Fockstha? Looks almost like a Scorpius slider Oo .

[IKSLM]

Probably some rubberdome thingy?

[Chyros]

Scorpius switches are dome with slider. I've only seen clear sliders so far, though (both Alps- and MX mount). They're outstanding switches by the way, as far as rubber domes go.

oh and here too

They never went away IIRC, they were always there and have been getting steadily more expensive since they were first found.

[Wodan]

Even at this price the Skidata boards are a great investment. you get nearly 150 MX Clear switches and some of the best keycaps ever made. Maybe even get a chance to secure some better mods from the Skidata+ GB.

futaba or smk switches:

That's definitely futaba, smk switches have a different housing

[Chyros]

Futaba MX mount.

For something bit different; Ergodex DX1 (50NZ$ = ~35US$). I haven't encountered these before, so, apologies if it's something that lies in piles in op-shops where you live.

Microswitch?

A sexy looking portable from Italy:




I love the legends AND the layout, so I was hoping the caps would be Alps compatible, but no. Fujitsu Peerless:

[Chyros]

Yeah, the LED cutouts are definitely a giveaway for Peerless, but so are the sharp edges of the keycaps, btw. Looks really nice though!

[Scarpia]

I suppose a smart person with a knack for injection molding could make an Alps-to-Peerless adapter. Sadly that's not me.

Probably not, I think the keycaps would clash with the switch housing.

Have nobody a idea what the keyboards could be, the second seems like a telex communication writer?

Havent these particular boards been known to come with blue alps? or is that another similar board with a trackball?

[Hypersphere]

Yes, there is a version of the Accodata Keycat with blue Alps. It is in the DT wiki:

They come with Blues. The seller has two for sale, one looks new in box. I don't think that he will send them by mail though.

That's a pretty good price. The build quality, by necessity, is extremely crap on these, but the switches are fantastic.

The wiki lists both names as synonymous though?
