Possible Gold
« on: Mon, 08 April 2013, 13:08:03 »
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lot-of-225-Sun-Microsystems-Wired-Keyboard-taye-5C-6-and-7-/271060189495?pt=PCA_Mice_Trackballs&hash=item3f1c724137

I cannot tell if these are mechanical. The cost of the lot is too much for one person but the goods could be shared!

Can anyone tell if these are mechanical?

As far as I know all Sun keyboards are domes. Any possible gold here will only be found by melting them down :))

If they were mechanical then per switch, it would be mega cheap.

~120 switches per board x 225 boards = 30600 switches

Break down per switch would be $0.05 per switch, if they were mechanical.....
