Mac music scoring keypad

The FCC id says Pitch Pad, but I believe this was sold as the Presto pad, as described here.

I found a Funkentstort(?) keyboard on local shopping website in Taiwan.

No idea what this keyboard is, the seller said he/she doesn't have a keycap puller to let me see the switches.

This is the label.
I did manage to find the FCC ID, it's a Acekey AKB-2000, but I still can't find any information about this keyboard.

My limited experience and the back-case looking tell me it's kinda membrane, so i'm not feeling positive abt its some "good" keeb.

“Funkentstört“ means “No radio interference“
The model is “AKB-2000”; it is mentioned in the Geekhack forum:

Already gone.

Already gone.

Yeah, it was gone in less than a minute. It was a good deal for an early red-label model.

Edit: By the way, did anyone here buy the seven SSKs yesterday that went for $69 each? Someone bought the lot at once. I was busy with other things otherwise I may have snapped them up myself. https://www.ebay.com/itm/265212977083

I read the wiki about the labels for these but couldn't discern what's different between red and not besides the label. Do you know?

I have a red label Omni Key 102 and would also be interested to know. That is a great price! I paid much more than that for mine!

The red SEFCO labels are found on earlier versions of the gold label (Gen1) 102 Northgates. Far as I know there were no changes in the keyboard features, it's just a labelling difference. A few very early 102 models had a 1u backspace key and an ON/OFF switch for the Ctrl/CapsLock swap, but otherwise the Gen1s were all basically the same. Switches changed from blue to white SKCM at some point, but that was a change in what Alps was producing, not a choice made by Northgate.

Interesting that the Focus FK-727 just posted in Chyros' thread has a SEFCO label; the first time I've seen that on a Focus.

I knew I'd see one of these on ebay within a week of buying one. Yes, it was expensive. I'm counting the days until it gets here from across the pond.
