What kind of keys are these -- Hetra keyboard 101-1T
« on: Tue, 21 April 2015, 03:16:41 »
I was looking on Ebay, and I saw a couple of Hetra keyboards. This one (Hetra keyboard 101-1T) shows the keys, and I didn't recognize it:



Any ideas what kind of key this is?

they're most likely Foam and Foil switches. At least the stem looks like it.

It looks like Key Tronic foam and foil switches with some kind of splash guard that I have never seen before.

The Key Tronic's switch housings have those two nubs. I never knew what they were for, but I suppose now that they are for holding that splash guard.

BTW foam over foil when somewhat used feels absolutely terrible, significantly worse than any RD

The feel is quite nice without the foam, only that then it wouldn't work.
