Barnes & Noble IBM kiosk keyboard
« on: Sun, 03 July 2011, 20:33:53 »
Hey guys
I was wondering if anyone has tried the keyboard at a kiosk inside B&N. The keys felt really light and fast and I thought if there is something like that I could get it would be awesome for the times I need to type stupid fast without my fingers hurting. Basically for chat and stuff like that. Another thing is how quiet it seemed to be but maybe that's just because it wasn't in a small room.

I got a Microsoft 4000 which feels pretty light for a standard keyboard but it's too big to bring around so I never get to use it. The spacebar on that one is horrible too. I think they should make one without the numbers and fix the spacebar.

Looking around at this wiki I think the most similar is the Topre HHKB which is tiny and probably not very loud like the ancient keyboards but from videos on youtube they still make clicky sounds so maybe the kiosk keyboard is a whole different thing.

Thanks for the help!

Keyboards at B&N (at least the one by me) are Cherry G86-6240- series.  Most are the trackpad model 6241(62401).
