Found this guy on Craigslist, wondering if it's worth picking up. Can't seem to find anything about it on the wiki so I can't determine the switch type. https://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/sop/5889531357.html

Likely slider over dome or foam and foil. Compaq is known for using foam and foil switches.

No springs, so prob not foam and foil? They are not clicky, but definitely not mush either.

Definitely domes. look through the pace between the keycaps, if you see plastic the same color as the case its 99% that its rubberdomes.

A rubber dome. By the by, you need to use direct links (end in .jpg) when hotlinking imgur files.

No problem. I can remember the days when I couldn't identify keyboard switches by font, case shape, and other obscure characteristics...

Be careful with this hobby. It will consume you! :lol:

Right, that's what I thought. You did say...

which is the key here, the only reason I'm being slightly obtrusive is so that we don't say anything wrong here. Chyros should know for sure anyway.
