Title: what keyboard is this
Post by: inlikeflynn on Fri, 29 April 2011, 22:07:20

Can anyone tell me what keyboard this is? I've looked at the wiki and cannot figure out exactly which one it is.

Thanks

I think it's called the DKSaver.  It's quite obscenely expensive, and I think you have to add a lot of your own parts if you build it from a kit.

Its a DK Saver. The very first custom keyboard that ever came out. The silver model is limited to 30 pieces, a black variant exists, which is limited to 20 pieces. Its my daily driver since quite a while now, very solid keyboard. Sadly it is entirely based on the older Cherry G80-3000s, including the Controller... which means it maxes out at 2~4key rollover.

In all pictures of the DkSaver that I have seen, the key caps have been different.
Can I suppose that the keyboard came without caps?

Thanks for the info! I really like the idea of a tenkeyless board WITHOUT a windows key like this one. First one i've seen like this.

Looks more "greasy" than shiny. Ewwwww.

What does that button to the right of F12 do?  Also LED near the arrow cluster?

Probably just a media button that you can customize?

It sends \| with a non-standard scancode. You are supposed to map it something you like. I have mine mapped to the windows key.

Yes, like most DIY-set keyboards it didn't come with keycaps or switches.
