"K108S" unknown switches

So it clicks, so I drop four dollars on it at the Goodwill.

It reminds me somewhat of the PDC-101 board on keyboardporn, in that it's got noisy switches with vaguely ALPS-like interfaces, on a plastic backplate and a circuit board which barely covers the switches.

However, all other factors differ:

* dye-sub look keys
* big-enter 101 layout, with small backspace, quite conventional
* tiny, surprisingly attractive case.
* Switches are different not-alps-- rounded edges and a light blue colour.

The controller is datecoded late 1991, and there's an XT-AT switch.  The only external label is a serial number-- i see evidence of a removed label.  However, the PCB is labelled K108S.

Monterey/M-tek.
Hardware in signatures clutters Google search results. There should be a field in the profile for that (again).

This message was probably typed on a vintage G80-3000 with blues. Double-shots, baby. :D

You lucky basterd! The Monterey is the type of switch that I am the most interested in trying out.
