Title: Anyone recognize this keyboard?
Post by: Lalaland124 on Tue, 09 February 2021, 02:30:03

Hey I found this keyboard online and could find any information on how rare or good it is.

Maybe someone can tell me what switches it uses :3

if you have the keyboard on hand, then try to pull a keycap (very straight, else if it is a mechanical you may break the stem) or try to type on it, if it feels good who cares what it is :)
although if it is tactile, actuate at the end of travel and has a quite rubbery feel on bottom out then it is most likely rubber domes. although no shame in that :) apart from the Zenith keyboards though i never heard of a bull group keyboard that was mechanical so do not get your hopes up though.

Take a look at this. (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=54174.0)

I have looked at buying a lot of old Zenith boards because we had a lot of their great old tvs growing up. There's not a lot of documentation on most of the later tree logo boards. Z-150 and ZKB-2 (and the 163 model that uses the same chassis) are all Alps linears. ZKB-3 and most other tree logo boards are domes of some kind.
