Hello all, new to the forum. I recently scored these 8 keyboards for $100 total from a vintage computer hoarder, and I'm having trouble finding some of the keyboard models/switches online.
The ones I know:
Packard Bell 5339s (BTC Dome w/ Slider)
Mitsumi KKR-E99AC (Mitsumi Hybrid)
Apple M0110 (Alps SKCC Tall Cream)
Focus FK-2001 (Alps SKCM White)
Dell AT101W (Alps SKCM Black)
There are 3 keyboards out of the 8 that are more or less mysterious.
The first one is a Fujitsu/ICL 9535. It looks sort of like Fujitsu Peerless, but the stem design looks a bit different from what I've seen on other Peerless boards.
The second one is (probably?) an Oak Switch Systems 5-64995-010. I haven't been able to find this keyboard online, and the switches look different than anything I've seen online for Oak Systems boards.
The third one is by far the most mysterious. No branding anywhere, front or back. I opened it up and saw a "Kuotiang" label, but no model number.
Any help on identifying these would be much appreciated! (sorry for the text wall)

thanks for this! i can't find anything else out about those USw switches so i assume they're probably some rare clone of some kind. As it turns out, those fujitsu switches are actually a spring over membrane. They're completely linear, not like my clicky peerless board.
