Title: Wii keyboard
Post by: poco on Mon, 21 February 2011, 23:01:59

I found a wired USB keyboard that came with my Wii, and thought I'd give it a try. The model number is KU-0906. It's cute, and the keys don't feel extremely mushy, though they're spaced pretty far apart. Touch typing on them is a bit tricky. Anyways, do you think it's scissor-switch or rubber domes?

I recognize it. It also comes with Acer's Inte Atom-based boxes. I had opened one up to see. Those are not scissor-switches. The key spacing is larger than 3/4" and the keys have rounded edges. 3 mm travel.

One of the most horrible keyboards that I have had to use at work.

Yeah, typing on it's not exactly a breeze.
