Title: Help me identify this DYTCOM keyboard.
Post by: Geten123 on Sun, 20 February 2011, 17:19:17

So I browsed this swedish auction website called Tradera earlier today and came across an older keyboard which uses a DIN-cable. The brand of it is DYTCOM, but I have yet to come across any information about this particular keyboard. Is there anyone on this forum who happens to recognize it?

Perhaps you could get the seller to remove a keycap and take a picture?

Linear cherry fakes, it's so scarce nobody knows jack besides that.

I had a dah yang dytcom K-261 for a while. It had blue cherrys and a din contact. Swedish layout. But it didnt look at all like that one. It seems they sold those here in the early 90's somehow.

'DY' in DYTCOM stands for "Dah Yang", apparently. You could also search for "Senco" and "Unitek".

There is one like it in US layout on eBay right now, for an outrageously high price..
I saw one on Tabao that was just like it, but it had blue switches.

Edit:
This is a K-157, FCC-ID "DKW67MK-157".
