Title: Epson T026A Keyboard - Can anyone give information on it?
Post by: GanjaSMK on Mon, 20 December 2010, 06:39:51

Here is a keyboard I picked up the other day locally, good price too!

I don't know what switches they are and I am hoping that someone here can help figure it all out or tell me how to remove the 'white' part to see behind it, if that will help someone!  

It's very smooth typing - very!  Hopefully someone can recognize this or tell me more about it?!  Thanks

Ah, these are the famed Fujitsu Peerless switches.  

Who wants to buy it?! :p

If each switch does not have a separate plunger with a spring in it, then it is not a Peerless but a regular rubber dome keyboard made by Fujitsu.

From what I understand from having read about the Peerless, the white part should snap to the outside of a (square) shaft and it does not look like that here.
