Title says it all, I recently found this. Thinking of pulling the trigger.

Slung out on the little table in the back yard, ready to start the novel. If it weren't for the broken screen…

Ah, some hopes never change.

He is asking us whether he should buy this thing...hence pulling the trigger.

He doesnt own this.

The whole thing does look like a movie or theatre mockup somehow, screen and colors and all... Can the keys even be pressed? :-)

Anyway, it's probably not a rubberdome.

I think it is mechanical, but even if it isn't, you should pull the trigger
if it isn't to expensive, just to get the coolest Norwegian-layout doubleshot keycaps around !

Seems like foam'n'foil(?). I don't know enough about keyswitch types so i'll let HaaTa/webwit/mr_a500/parak etc decide what it is.

Anyhow, this is definitely of interest, but even if idk how to connect it to my pc.

Yep - that's Key Tronic foam & foil. Not bad, but not particularly good. It depends on the condition. I've got a Victor 9000 Key Tronic foam & foil that feels very smooth and light.

LOL !!
Okeg :
Location: Norway

Location: Berlin, DE
I also want it !
And I'm not even Norwegian !!
However, the Norwegians only have 'Æ' & 'Ø' wrong (swapped) in their layout
on old boards like this, so it's still usable for a Dane :) :)

Seriously :
You should buy this thing if the price isn't to silly, I would;
nice, vintage, Nordic-language doubleshots are incredibly rare !
