I got this board some months ago and didn't have time to post the pictures.
This is an old cherry board, with a strange (for nowadays' use) layout.
The connector is AT, the switches are cherry black, but worn out to this very nice feeling of "Vintage cherry blacks".
I love typing on this keyboard. The feeling is beetween black and red, no tactility of course.
It is plate mounted.
The keycaps are double shots.
With AT-> PS2 -> Bluecube -> USB connectors it works quite well, i still experience some "fixed keys" as if the key was still pressed (i sometimes have this on a blue cube connected ssk too).
Opening it is not so easy as the screws are in the plastic and quite fragile, and it seems to be more and more fragile as you unmount them.
You can see some pictures of the internals (keyboardpron
).
Nothing fancy to me but i know like these.
And what about everyday use ?
Well it's not so easy as :
- The layout is strange, and i switch keyboard on a three day basis so and i can't get fully in. Moreover the / is mising on the numpad and i use it quite often, so is the altgr (how can i get these [|{#@]}^~) on an azerty keyboard ?)
- I can't select text with shift and arrows (or shift control arrows). I don't know why but it doesn't work at all.
But i love the touch feeling and the look, and typing on a keyboard older than my trainee is priceless
.
Hope you like the pictures.
Higher resolution on demand
I'll post them on the wiki asap.

. It has the same shape enter, and short 1.5 backspace, 2.25 right shift and all... I love that set and have nothing to put them on... well thats a lie, I have my Commodore board, but it can't work on a PC.
