Yeah... that confirms it. Thanks. The only question remaining, werher the second board in the edited section is mechanical or not.Rayndalf wrote: 28 Dec 2020, 00:37 Visually it looks like lasered PBT keycaps.
'L' indicates lasered keycaps as well

If it's cheap enough ($20?) then it might be worth it for the case and cable
Hi, I've managed to find the same model for a very affordable price. It's using Cherry MX blue switches, coming with a software floppy. Did you manage to get it running? I thought about using this board as a macro pad, but Idk if I could get it working on windows, or Should I just use it as a source for switches.Yurnero wrote: 16 Nov 2020, 10:04 Hey, guys I only recently got into hunting for vintage and strange keyboard and found something incredibly interesting. KB-128-A or KB-128 brings up nothing, trying to find anything about Gigatek got me some answers regarding what type of keyboard this exactly is.
I got a ton of info and detailed documents about 980A: "KB980A Series128-Keys programmable keyboard is specially designed for most dedicated applications, such as banking system, POS system, etc. Each key can be programmable up to 42 characters and can be defined through the PC by the user. The integrated magnetic stripe reader can read authorization cards, credit cards, or bank passbooks." That at least clarifies what 128-A is.
The seller claims in the auction description that it's a microswitch keyboard because it's clicky, the photo clearly shows Cherry MX mount under the spare keycaps but that means almost nothing when Cherry MX mount is so universal. I'm really confused about what really is hiding under the keycaps. I already contacted the seller for more photos and info regarding the keyboard but I'm yet to receive a reply. So I decided to ask here, what do you think guys?
Danke! I suppose it’s obvious when you look at it
Which keyboard?Explorer914 wrote: 08 Jan 2021, 01:47 Hello
This keyboard is up for sale on a Swedish auction site.
I've tried to find out more about the switches in this keyboard but I cant find any information on what switches this board has.
Can anyone here give me a hint about the switches?

Yes, I'm in Sweden and I will try to go get that board.hellothere wrote: 09 Jan 2021, 22:50 In any case, if you're in Sweden, it's a good price for a nice keyboard.
I would actually say that this a quite odd board, one that I only know of because I own one. It looks about identical to my hk-101, a board made by hottek in the late 1980’s. My exact board post is actually linked on the wiki under “Blazer 386”.JADF wrote: 13 Jan 2021, 23:53 Anyone recognises this board? It has rather unusual f-key layout. Backside has no label.
From what i've gathered about this blazer keyboard, it has a different layout - no additional f keys and no in key led lights, but the chasis is pretty much identical. I'll look further into hottek keyboards, thanks.imdatperson wrote: 14 Jan 2021, 01:44I would actually say that this a quite odd board, one that I only know of because I own one.

Luggable PC, 286/386/486 vintage (early '90s). Lots of variations of those, with differences in layout and later ones with Windows keys. I have the PC board from one almost identical and it has white Alps SKCM. Others had some version of Cherry MX.
