[SOLD] Cool vintage MX double-shots on terminal board
« on: Mon, 16 October 2017, 22:28:40 »
I gather these have been posted about here before, but this one seemed especially affordable for any of you who crave some nice, unusual DS Cherry MX keys:

Universal Computer Systems ANSI Terminal Keyboard DCS/948














Those are vintage MX Blacks. The cable's grimy, but the board itself looks barely used to me. BIN $33.75 + 13.72 U.S. shipping.

I like that the legend on the HELP key is so much bigger than all the others :))

Also that the HELP key is yellow.
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

Yes, it really stands out... A few exclamation points are practically implied.

I believe the base KB is a wyse WY-85. Not sure if soarer supports that protocol or not, but I think it might. The keycaps are comptek of source (now SP) so it's what we're all familiar with. I dig the wyse off color arrow keys but in brown instead of yellow :p

Has a cool XMIT key, so maybe he'll want it
