Anyone recognise this keyboard?
« on: Wed, 06 April 2011, 10:30:06 »
Found a cheap board at a flea market i couldnt resist. I felt at once that it was low budget and crappy, but it had a weird switch and weird keys, so i had to have it :)

They are clicky, but it may be a rubber dome. But there are springs involved.. Not sure. Very inconsitent feel on the keys. Some are very clicky and some almost not at all. I think its just worn out on some keys. No 50 million key presses here i guess :P The larger keys are very fuzzy about hitting spot on in the middle or they get stuck. Space is a nightmare to press as you really have to hit in the middle there too. Hmm, why did i buy this keyboard? Hehe. Take a look at the images and see what you make of it. It has no brand name or anything either. Euro style enter key, but rest of the layout is USA style... And yea, arabic on the keys too ^^.

After comparing my board to a model m, all i can say is... NO :D And i havnt even plugged it in yet ;) Seems very low quality.
Interesting though :) I read about that board here some time ago, but didnt remember until you showed me now.

I might be interested. Would be a nice toy to have if the price is ok.
