Bloomberg Terminal keyboard switch type?
« on: Tue, 26 March 2013, 10:50:05 »
This. I really like how the switches feel, but all my research has turned up that it's a "mechanical switch" of some sort.

Does anyone have any knowledge of what the switches used here are?

What kind of travel are you getting on them? Looks like the could be scissor switches based on the height of them.

That's what I thought also, though look at the finger print reader on the left, and the thickness of the cable. Thick cable. Try getting MiMiC to make one of those, I dare you. :P

It doesn't feel like a membrane-type rubber dome keyboard. I know the older ones were membranes, but maybe my fingers just suck.

Travel is about 3mm, and there's a clicky actuation point in the middle of the key.. it almost feels like rubber dome but hard.
