Aaah, it's an original IBM Model Crap

Membrane.

Hmm. The infamous Model C. I think quite a few companies put out keyboards under this model.

i had one, its horrifying. terrible key feel, mushy mushy membrane, not even a good membrane, very much a bad membrane. Its too bad, I liked the semi-compact form factor.

Exactly how bad was that membrane, Wellington?

I had this board for a time. This was before I saw the light and realized that the keyboard was really the final peripheral I hadn't really invested in yet.

It was an OK board for somene who doesn't know any better. It was certinaly mushy and degraded quite rapidly. I made the mistake of cleaning it with the old fashioned blast-it-with-the-sink-sprayer and leave it upside down on a towel method and it was very difficult to press the keys after that. Ended up chucking it a short time later. Certianly felt like a generic crappy keyboard. Doubt IBM really had anything to do with its design and manufacture. Reeked of rebadge all the way.

Pity... it's the only Japanese keyboard on ebay that I thought might be halfway decent is a slightly different version of that one. Oh well, guess it's back to searching for a hens-teeth SMK-88109. (http://64.176.254.221/index_p04.htm)
