- The keyboard itself in all its custom AT layout glory. The LCD seems to have seen some better days though unfortunately.

- The Key-caps are pad-printed ABS and despite what it might look like, they're not cherry compatible as the + is slightly narrower. (Compared with a MY key cap here)

- The switch itself with LED (boy its dirty down there). Its a clicky switch with a feeling thats somewhere between a blue alps and a buckling spring. (As in, louder than a blue alps but not as loud as a BS, more Tactile than the alps but not as tactile as a BS etc.)

- The switch is highly modular and can be removed/put back with almost no issue at all.
To my surprise, i found what looked like a capacitive plate underneath, wonder if it is. - DSC_0251.JPG (343.42 KiB) Viewed 2565 times
- Close-ups of the detached switch, Those white things appears to be click leaves and it seems to be using the spring as part of the contact mechanism. Interesting.

- My Biggest problem with the keyboard though, as you can see the connector is a DIN-8 rather than a DIN-5 and i have no way of knowing whether the keyboard works or not. From what i heard though, it should be IBM Compatible. (If it belonged to a Xen-i rather than a normal Xen that is, i have no clue which one it is)
