White whale alert!

At this point, we should just sigh and make a thread exclusively for beamers on sale.

Any relation to the "ALPS Switch Blue" on Datacomp's site?

http://www.datacomp.com.tw/

I assume not, since those have been discussed here in the past.

Found this M122 battleship: https://www.subito.it/vi/259257333.htm
I already have an identical one, otherwise I would've bought it

This is an Italian site so I'm pretty sure that the seller only ships to Italy.

A super interesting looking keyboard to say the least

Neat. Looks like some kind of homebrew kit.

Chyros · 21 Jul 2018, 09:07

I suspect it's KT F&F or even MR.

The logical layout printed/painted on the keys is unequivocally based on the ones the old Atari 8-bit computers had.

I think it's neither, I think it's a Fujitsu OEM Data General board with clicky FLS3 xD .

If anything, I'd try and wire a raspberry pi in there or something.

God bless Doctor Click

Oh shitttt
Got my package today.
They are actually grey color

Blaise170 · 23 Jul 2018, 15:56

Weird - SKBM Gray is a well known switch (albeit not very common) so I wonder if those blue switches really were just zombified SKCM Blue.

This photo is deceptive.
These switches in the photo are actually grey, but look like blue.

Blaise170 · 23 Jul 2018, 16:08

No they don't just look blue - they are blue. Now whether it's an effect of the camera or not is another story.

The same thing happened to me when I bought an IBM Selectric off of ebay that appeared to have blue keys, but in fact they are grey.

Nothing real special I guess. Alps integrated domes but still neat if you collect Zenith.

If I didn't already have all the parts for a Levinson in the mail I would be all over this,those look like they would make a pretty nice board.

Looks like KPT or something similar

I don't know how to describe it, it's clicky but sounds like cherry mx brown.

Blaise170 · 24 Jul 2018, 19:36

In terms of feel, I'd describe it as what would happen if you put a rubber dome and spring into a discrete switch. So it's some weird combination of membrane, Topre, and MX Brown. It also feels like it has a double bump sometimes. All in all, very odd switches. SKCM Black are a bit better in these regards.
