Looks like things aren't rare anymore, but beyond rare.
Mostly posting because of title and tone of item description making me chuckle.

Nothing better than scrolling thru a couple hundreds of "check out the keyswitch" keyboards But hey, atleast he has pictures of the actual "keyswitches" so you don't have to look up which "keyswitch" the boards have yourself... X)

okay I have to ask, where is that keyboard from? It looks like the IIc+ keyboard assembly but with a regular sized enter key instead of the weird L shaped one. thats definitely up there with M0118 layout tied for my ideal layout. arrow keys and everything.

the keycaps are probably the best aspect of it, I don't recall which exactly, but I've seen this lock light sticker on some other cheap rubber dome/mechanical keyboards, it's a nice piece of collection and I'd be glad to be able to read more about it, so it would be cool to be documented.

Monterey K108. Print Screen looks funky, but hopefully it's just stuck and not broken. Also, the arrow keys are fun

Can anyone estimate age of these Tipro terminal keyboards, I am wondering are these vintage cherry blacks or not? Both boards seems cheap, 20 euros each?
One is K160 M2400 model and other one being KMX 128A.

Even if they're not vintage blacks 40 euros is a steal for the pair.

If you could get that image in larger resolution you could perhaps see if those switches with missing keys are Cherry MX switches.
To see whether they are vintage or not, you would have to get a lot closer: to determine if the Cherry logo is in an older or newer style can be difficult even with a naked eye.

A vanilla AT101 at a relatively modest price:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vtg-Dell-Mecha ... 0005.m1851. For a while I was seeing these at well over USD200.
Did they do pad-printed caps on these boards? Several keys lost their legends.

Ciba-Corning EKT-101. I couldn't find anything in the wiki for this board or its switches, but I'm leaning toward Foam and Foil or dome with slider. Here's a picture of the switch that the seller PM'ed me.

I've asked the seller to see if a digital option is available so we can have a better quality version. Given the big size just a little retouch for the damages or "photoshop" in another selectric are pretty easy to do. I'm on the same boat.xxhellfirexx wrote: ↑22 Apr 2019, 01:05I'd love to get a scan of this as a desktop wallpaper.Excelso wrote: ↑21 Apr 2019, 22:22Not the usual "interesting" find but... quite interesting to me... and quite a nice banner if I were able to put my hands in it
