Another Military (Bundeswehr) keyboard. Seems kind of interesting to me.

Why have 1 big spacebar when you can have 3 little ones
.
That's actually not a terrible layout, stick a custom controller in there and it'd probably be pretty useable. Nice price too.

Wow, that's a lot of pins on the connector!
Those caps look Devlin to me. Might be Cherry underneath.

6u is about as long as I can take *cough*, I've got a board with 3x2.75u keys down there which is pretty nice.
10u is just silly.

I'm just glad that after a setup like that, you didn't post a Wang.

Oh, did anyone here get that Ortek board that finished last night? I stumbled across it last night when the auction had like 15 minutes left but I was in bed and couldn't be bothered trying to figure out how to post ebay links on my phone...
This one.

Bum. I'd have liked one of those. I thought I had a saved search on Ortek keyboards, but clearly not.

Got it for 20€ shipped! I'd be so happy if these really are Devlin caps, they surely look like it.
Thanks for the tip. Since I'm not actively searching Ebay anymore, I feel like I'm profiteering from this thread a bit too much, sorry!

Well as long as you don't take peoples' suggestions, buy them cheap and sell them for a profit, I don't see it as a problem! That board looks really interesting. Do we know what switches they have?

I'd never do that. If I decide to sell some of my stuff I'll always try to sell it for the price I bought it for, if I can find it. Also I'll try to document the more interesting stuff I find/buy.

I've researched those Schneider keyboards before and all I've found are some kind of membrane switches similar to the Mitsumi ones in Commodore Amigas, they were not MX compatible. But I haven't found much information about them, do you know more about these?

Hmm, those keycaps and legends do look suspiciously Cherry-like. I've never seen an enter key like that on a Cherry board, though.

Schneider had Cherry boards for sure:

Now, this board looks like Cherry to me, but there is nothing sure about it.

That's surely not the Cherry font on the Schneider keyboard, maybe SP made them. The Rohde & Schwarz keyboard indeed has Cherry MX keycaps and switches.

Second that, and had the same results when I did a little research on the euro pc. Think the most memorable thing about it was some dude farting accidentally in his review vid on yt.

Certainly not Cherry caps.
Had the same. Crappy crap.
Definitely Cherry caps.

Of course. Also thought SP.

Of course again, no doubt on this one.

That Rohde & Schwarz board is amazing, shame it's so expensive.

For anybody interested, apparently the "best offer" for the one already sold was,
according to a tool which which I sometimes use and which has proven reliable in the past,
astonishing 100€.

My Omega keyboard from Ukraine is here safe and sound! Unfortunately the keys and switches are something of a disappointment. Plus it doesn't actually come up in XT or AT mode. Maybe it is drawing too much current for USB. The LEDs flicker and that's it.

Anyone have an idea what this key switch is? Alps mount, slider over buckling rubber cup over membrane. It may be membrane over PCB, I have not taken it apart that deeply.
Anyone here able to read Russian? I can transcribe it, slowly, and punch it into Google Translate.

I wish I could get that ROHDE & SCHWARZ. It's much nicer than the used one that is available on US ebay for an also too high price. I want a Cherry bitshift layout keycap set so bad!

He's already accepted an offer.. Don't suppose that was someone here? I'm curious how much it was.
