Tandy 1000 Keyboard Sound Test | Fujitsu Leaf Spring 3rd Gen
Love what you're doing with this thread, specifically love seeing more about these fujistu leaf spring boards, I also heard that they are really nice linears but are a nightmare to convert, and expensive too if those converters on ebay actually work. I was actually looking into maybe buying one with the same switches and trying to convert it, but as I said it seems to be not worth the hassle (especially because it probably wont have qmk/vial)

I never tried to convert this one... But that's what I heard too... The switches are amazingly smooth, but as you said, I don't know if it worth it!
Thank you!!

Dataware MCU-101 Sound Test and Review! Probably a rebranded OEMMAX MCK-101... Comes with Alps SKCM Blue!

What a great thread! I had to chuckle, as the first two boards tested here had some of the most traditionally maligned switches in the Keeb Kingdom: Futaba MAs (https://deskthority.net/wiki/Futaba_MA_series) and Mitsumi Miniatures (https://deskthority.net/wiki/Mitsumi_miniature_mechanical).
I've been lucky enough to find one previously-unused board with each, and I think they're great! So I think those two designs may have simply not been as long-lasting as most mechanical switches, and didn't require as much use to lose their appeal.
Has anyone else been able to try any new or lightly-used examples, and been more impressed than they thought they would?

I personally enjoy these switches!

Here's the Key Tronic A65-02028 mechanical keyboard Sound Test and Review! The Key Tronic A65 is an extremely well-made and sturdy vintage keyboard made of metal! It is heavy and looks great with its thick double-shot keycaps. This keyboard uses Key Tronic Foam and Foil mechanisms, which in this case was scratchy and heavy (the keyboard was dirty)... That's so sad because this keyboard is so cool! I was not sure of the name; I haven't found any information on this keyboard online... The full name is Key Tronic A65-02028 or A65-02023 because the last digit is hard to read...
