NOS RT101 $54 shipped

I'm guessing it's a clicky space Invaders. I love space Invaders, except for the clicky, sounds a bit like cherry, but slightly better. Feels better too.

I know that's a little incoherent, but like, I'm trying to send this in the middle of class.

It's completely coherent when you're into keyboards.  :thumb:

I've got a space invaders board somewhere (I need to get these attached to systems so I use them more often or figure out my multi-keyboard setup), and love the feel.  It's amazing how well some of the keyboards were back in the day when they were trying to imitate IBM's buckling springs.

Without the "+" after the "RT101", it could be a rubber dome, like the one this GH member got. Too bad, as it looks quite nice.

Yup, it's an NMB dome with slider (original price $40). I looked it up by the FCC number.

That said, these are supposed to be excellent RDs; some people would even consider them mechanical-feeling.

NMB made these for various customers. Here are photos of a Compaq version (though you may want to skip down the page to the restored version, as it started with a fair amount of User Crud).
