Anyone tell me if these are Cherry Legends?
« on: Sun, 16 June 2013, 03:45:10 »
Looking for some info on the caps that came with a board I bought today, anyone know if these are Cherry legends?

It's a good width!  If it's half-width it's too narrow, and full-width is too wide.

Those look like delicious cherry doubleshots.

Indeed, looks very similar to G80-0929 though the casebody is a bit different. You should open it and see if it has a G80 model on the inside on the PCB. What a nice find. I find it interesting the keycaps are so brilliant looking compared to the casebody. Give it some retrobright loving.

Good idea, I'll grab a screwdriver and report back!

Only identifying mark on the PCB was TH-5150. After looking around it looks like this was some sort of IBM 5150 clone.

Yup, black and white cross hatching.

That is a real man's space bar!

It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

I bet you could see that spacebar from space! :P
unless they have some unforeseeable downside (like they're actually made of cream cheese cunningly disguised as ABS)

It really raises the bar on space bars!

And yet that bar still did not run out of usable space...

After all these puns I could do with a drink!

Is there any space at the bar?

That is a really nice keyboard.
Could you take a picture of it with some of the keys taken of? that way it's much easier to tell which switches it uses.
