Who ended up getting that nice "compact" beam spring board?

I did. Not here yet though.

I've seen those thin keycaps on a very old Cherry keyboard with M5/M7 switches before, I'll have a look for that tomorrow. The sphericals could also be from Cherry.

He used to when I bought one from him. I wonder why he doesn't now..

Looks like some version of Devlin POS keyboard. Should have nice doubleshots and MX.

Fairly reasonable price. Apparently has a cracked spacebar, but otherwise appears to be in good shape.

The price dropped to $199.

What's special about that LAD ? Isn't that lasered ?

crunch · 08 Dec 2014, 16:33

Maybe for the keycaps, thick PBT.

Nice, the sister model in white/beige, I've been searching for that a while ago, as I only found it together with a complete system. For now I have enough Alps boards, though. If anyone is interested, my version is a great board, very sturdy and quite heavy. No NKRO though, but it allows enough keys to be pressed together in the WASD area.

Hi all,

I found this totally by chance, it ends in just under 2½ hours. If it doesn't get any bids I will put in a late one myself so that someone (else!) here could see about putting it to use!

I've asked if the scale is in cN/g-f or something else.

Vintage 1970s Keyboard Pressure Gauge

A possibly unique instrument

Designed to assess the finger pressure required to activate a key on a keyboard/keypad. Used in the telephone industry when keys started to replace dials. I used it to check keys & keypads in telephone design in the 1980s while working for ITT.

Built in Belgium, possibly by Bell Telefone Manufacturing, Antwerp part of ITT at the time.

The Tipro's seem expensive, not sure about the rest though.
