I hope I don't get banned for this. :cry:

Can someone tell me a keyboard which looks like this? it's the one Tank uses on this big workstation.

Sorry for the shitty pic, but this is the only one I could get.

I think it's a compact keyboard.


Also, is there anyone interested here in collecting crappy cheap keyboards?

I fixed the link. Unfortunately, I don't know what sort of keyboard that is, but I did notice the wider-than-average-looking modifiers. They look like 1.5's, and there are three to the right of the spacebar.

Hmm, the profile is flat, and for some reason, the keys on the top left look more worn. Maybe he uses Dvorak, and a lot of punctuation? maybe they painted keycaps and then rearranged them at random?

Looks like an RD to me.

Apparently the same board (according to a parts list I stumbled across) was used in the PowerBook 190, 5300, 3400 & G3

***edit: On second look, comparing the right shifts, spacebar, etc tells me otherwise. It's the PowerBook board.

Right, key matrix pulled from laptop and stuck in some other casebody then distressed and decorate by the prop department. For something that look similar that will work on current PC there is a bunch of Adesso, Siig etc. You could buff and paint the keys just like prop from the film. Or maybe even find one that is nice and worn out already on ebay!

That powerbook keyboard spacing sure looks the same.
