English - Japanese Mechanical Keyboard - Used











Think this is really an MK? I don't see any company name or p/n, just FCC #ACK-260UC. Anyone have a clue? Cool look, anyway.

Well, that's what I thought, too. (Have you ever seen an MK with the curvy bit at the bottom? I haven't.) They're not asking a MK-type price for it, either.

But I thought I'd see if any of the pundits here knew more. (Yoo hoo, pundits...?)

I highly doubt it. These should be the only Adesso mechanical keyboards.

Oh, well, there you go.

Older RDs sound "clicky" to peeps who are used to membranes, of course. (How many RD Model M variants have we seen advertised with "the famous clicky IBM sound"?)

Similarly, all IBM-compatible keyboards are "IBM Keyboard" and all Apple chiclet keyboards are "Magic".

If I do a eBay search now, I find several Apple rubber-dome keyboards from the '90s and '00s that are described as "Clicky".

I actually have a Topre like this except in beige.  Funky board, but nice key feel for sure.  That small spacebar takes a lot to get used to though.

Hey, and that's an RD too! LOL 

Okay, I like Topres; I just couldn't resist.
