I have a 46010A and its FLS. I also have a 46011A which is rubber dome and they look identical. I think this one is FLS

I would love to see your banned keyboard list

obviously a spam post.

that's a franklin ace 1000 keyboard

Collecting Keytronic vintage tall slider F&F boards.
Don't care about functionality, condition is the only criteria.
The more colorful the better.

Thanks everybody.

You all do realize that is what we look like to the vintage computing guys. Always cannibalizing some old keyboard for switches or keycaps, thus destroying a perfectly good vintage keyboard that could have completed some collector’s vintage system. I’m not sure we are in a great place to judge the ...

Just came across this board on eBay:

It looks a lot like the 107 key model F but is missing the F row and apparently uses Alps SKCC switches. Has anyone ...

Its of some medical system if I recall correctly. Let me try to find some pictures

Anybody know something about the board? Seller used "beamspring" description but couldn't see any switch info.


It is most likely keytronic, have their signature keycaps. This ...

Anyone wants to play the switch lottery here?

Why are people engaging in what is either obvious trolling, or a moron? dont feed the trolls is simple stuff


I just think its fun poking at stupid stuff like this. Now you said it maybe im the stupid one here :shock:

So selling any type of keyboard is fine particularly adding such false and useless info as a "Model-F" in the title to describe the keyboard, is valid to you?



Where’s the scam and false advertisement? Seller clearly said GENERIC Model F CLONE and showed the switches, where is the scam? The ...

Metal CCP keycaps. Just for the laugh lol

The Kaypros (looks like three of them, two with cases) stand out, even in the opening overall shot.


Also a few Fortune Systems keyboards / monitors in box.

Not so great find. Just for gags I supposed.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/SUPER-RARE-VTG ... SwqQpd0bVN

An Olivette keyboard with Snap-Action switches.

Works in similar principle as the Alps Plate Spring and IBM Beamspring. How does it feel?
Pretty JUNK-Scratchy, inconsistent, shallow travel. Don't even sound that good on this board.
Overall, not very good.



Well that's dissapoiting ...

Be aware it seems that's not beam spring, but foam and foil, despite having look-alike keycaps and layout

https://deskthority.net/viewtopic.php?t=13823

The guy that lists those keyboards on ebay seems to think that every old keyboard is beam spring or something.

I've given him an offer ...

It's most likely microswitch. From the keycaps and shape of spacebar.

4 of 'em, no auction, buy it now! No IBM label tho....

I tried, file too large

First they take away the beam springs with solenoid, saying "Nobody needs a solenoid these days!" Next, they take the regular beam springs, then the pingy Alps, then all clicky switches, then linears and finally the rubbish rubber domes. Next thing you know, were in a God-damned touchscreen ...

I think showing the inside is more important here since that's where the key feel lays.You can repaint the case anyway.

Hard to tell what is this. I found zero info about that keyboard. Maybe its first documented.
Style looks like ibm, or rabbit.
It's AT/XT?
We need more photos. Back, inside etc. Pcb can tell us much.

Well it uses the at layout
