Amkey MPTK-129 keyboard from B-52 Stratofortress
« on: Tue, 05 August 2014, 18:42:37 »
Got this from an auction posted in this thread. I'm moving this weekend so I haven't really have any time to play around with it but I wanted to post a few pictures of a quick tear down.

Damn!

You are surely the envy of the keyboard-collecting universe about now.

The "Rubout" key takes on a whole new meaning here.

That is awesome.

I read the thread title and I have to be honest. I was completely lost. Clicked out of curiosity.

It's a foam and foil switch so it's got a linear feel. I'd say the pressure is between a mx black and a mx red. The keys have a very retro sounding clack. Some combination of the keycap and the switch shaking in it's track. It's a good sound.
