What are these keyboards???
« on: Tue, 13 February 2018, 14:38:44 »
Hey all! Hoping everyone reading has a had a good day.
Need some quick help finding some better information about these keyboards and knowing if they are worth buying. The smaller one caught my eye but I can't seem to dfind any information about it. Wish someone could enlighten me about the switches. I really wanted a new keybard to keep me entertained and also one to use. I'll attach some prints from the seller.
Thanks everyone !

I couldn't find anything specific to that one. ICL put its brand on many things back in those days, it seems. It's hard to tell what it might be without having access to it.

The ICL one is model 102RX43S-209E, and (number of keys)(two-letter series code)(model) is Micro Switch/Honeywell format, denoting here a 102-key keyboard in RX series.

Based on eBay pictures for other Honeywell RX models (search for just 102RX43S), it's rubber dome.
