I didn't see a thread for this and there are a lot of unique Micro Switch keyboards so I figured now is a good time to start as any.

Think I might have some caps that might work on those boards that I harvested from gas station POS terminals (used to work at a eWaste recycler)

I didn't see a thread for this.

Yeah I think I know why. :P. Only like two people have these things. I want one though. Mmmm. That TI Keyboard looks sweet!

These are sick. And that one beefy enter key is mad. Don’t think I’ve seen bigger.

Very cool stuff JP! That Space Cadet board is droolworthy! I definitely need to start getting myself some boards like these soon. Now that I got myself a couple high quality modern builds I am happy with, I have been increasingly moving to vintage boards/switches. Mainly SKCM/L & SKCC ALPS based boards at the moment, but wouldn't hesitate to grab something like these if I came across one at the right price. Thanks for starting this thread up man, GH needs more vintage love!

I'm glad you and others here appreciate this stuff.  :thumb: I hope my hoarding efforts can inspire others in a positive manner either though collecting or through the design of new stuff inspired from vintage boards.

Also my latest acquisition:
