Ohhh, that's so sad Thanks Polecat, I think my life can go on now.

A bit of searching for that model number turned up a video:

This one has a different case, but the same slightly odd layout with the big spacebar. If it's indeed a match it's probably a BTC foam and foil mushmat, which would match what I remember about mine.

Hey again. Does anyone have any info on this keyboard? Can barely find anything online about it.


Thanks!

I would guess Fujitsu Leaf Spring

I think ITW magnetic valve based on keycap shape

I find it very futuristic.I love it! Please let us know if you'll be able to bring it back to life, connecting it to a modern pc.

I browsed more info here

Got a fun challenge for you guys.

In this video, at the timestamp, there is what appears to be a battleship or battlecruiser of some sort with a motorized, pop-up display.

I want this so fucking bad. What is it?

It's a little too crunched down in the frame to really tell, but I believe that it's going to be a Decision Data /HP? C1410A similar to this one:

*Display notwithstanding, never seen anything like that before hot damn!

Oh yeah, I don't even care about the rest of the keyboard, but fuck *me* that display

It also appears the top 24 keys might be relegendables, although basically any keyboard can have those so it's not an indication of what it is.

derp

Yeah, Siemens / Tandberg, that the switch? wiki/Siemens_STB_11

found this guy on auction site, from the missing keycap looks like keytronic foam and foil switches but the layout is a bit weird and what the heck is that huge ass button i suppose on the left? does that activate nuclear launchers or what? i have no idea what this could be as there's no picture of the backplate good enough to read anyhting

Does anyone recognize this keyboard?

I think I've seen it in one of Chyroses reviews, but can't figure out which one.

It looks like my Siemens, but I've never reviewed this.

It looks pretty close to this one.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yndCXP0ZkOQ

Edit: I made an offer on it. Fairly low, though, so someone could still get it if they want it.

See this photo:

Ok this is a super old pic but did you ever figure out what it is? I want it. I want it bad.

I wasn't talking about a review on this keyboard. I think you've shown it while talking about cable gutters. But maybe I'm just wrong.

Yeah. And description to my keyboard says its clicky. And that strange cable gutter meaning that it could be meant to be portable. It probably has complicated Alps in it.

Definitely for a portable/luggable. Windows keys date it to 1995 or later, so probably not complicated Alps. Some versions of those luggable keyboards had Cherry MX blues or blacks.

Edit: here's an earlier version with a different layout and MX blues:

viewtopic.php?f=62&t=16741&p=374589&hil ... en#p374589

I have one just like this in black with Dolch caps, also with MX blues. And a white Alps keyboard in the exact same colors and layout. They made these luggables for many years, and there were a lot of variations. Most were poorly made, so not many have survived.

Does anyone know what switch is that in the photo?

Oh, Windows keys. Seller says it's clicky, so it should be Cherry MX Blues.

Any help identifying the switch in this keyboard would be appreciated.

Hi all-

Is there any other database for one to look up IBM keyboards by part number? I know there's one here but couldn't find the p/n I have, which is 0484530. Does anyone know which keyboard it is?

Thanks!

What switch.PNG

This is typewriter keyboard, mounts are similar to cherry mx, but not exactly the same.
If I remember correctly switches are rubber domes with slider (I still got that keyboard somewhere, but it might take me a while to actually find it).

What is this board? It seems to have MX blacks...

Seems like a variation of G80-0454 - but some keys' legends don't match. If you end up getting it, please share pics!

Apologies for the low-quality image. The seller says that one is "very heavy". Do any of you know what some of these are? Are any of them worthwhile?

Two in the bottom left look like Gateway Anykeys, bottom right looks like a Keytronic, the one above the two Anykeys might be peerless or domes, same with the one next to it.


The only ones I am almost certain of are the Anykeys.

Futaba, Chicony maybe? What's this dudes?
