Just started a new job this week, still trying to figure out my schedule (and the best time to do posts like this).

Seems like I've been acquiring a lot of these Brother dome over membrane keyboards lately. Typing wise they are actually pretty nice for what they are.
The keycaps are dyesub (though a bit more feathering then usual). And unless this is a freak of nature, looks to be PS/2 (not sure if the wiring of the SDL is same as Model Ms, but it likely is).
Keyboard itself was made sometime in 1990.

Looks like the function keys and nav clusters are colored grey. Odd choice to me.

How many of these do you have? I really like the caps, feet, and overall look of the board.

Jesus, maus. How many keyboards do you intend to collect?

Why set limits? Limits are limiting


From my last count of my todo pile, I could post a new keyboard everyday for a couple months and still have more left

All of them

But in all seriousness, I intend to try a huge variety and hoard as much as I can and then sell off what I don't need. In the end I will probably still keep around 15 boards, definitely my prized unsaver that I worked so hard to get.

I am going to start a thread to sell some of the boards I don't currently care about. Some boards I only want the switches or caps from.

But you should check this thread out: keyboards-f2/how-many-keyboards-do-you-own-t10197.html?

I only have one of these, but I have seen a few on ebay recently.

I've got a couple of these, they are my favourite boards to type on for long periods of time, mostly because they have incredibly rigid key travel; at least my version has no wobble whatsoever at any point of the stroke. Plus, they come with PS2 and are just the right amount of tactile for my taste. I find them bit crap for gaming as they have weird roll-over, it feels like different combinations of key presses allow a different number to register together, but, not in any sensible fashion. Funnily, this is completely different from my gaming kb, which has nkro but really wobbly keys (G6v2).
