Title: Does the Samsung SWT1000 have n-key-rollover?
Post by: J-HAX on Thu, 08 September 2011, 03:37:57

Hey guys, I'm looking for a dirt cheap keyboard with n-key-rollover, and my local MSY have stopped stocking them.
Do any of you know if the Samsung SWT1000 or one of the A4tech boards have n-key-rollover?
If not, are there any other boards you would suggest?
Cheers, Jack Allison

The only other option might be a used IBM Model F AT.  You may find one of those for cheap, too, if you don't mind used and vintage.

I had one some years ago, and it wasn't NRKO, but it was a great keyboard

I have no clue where to get one nowadays, seems like it doesn't get manufactured anymore

Are you sure you aren't talking about the Model M?  The Model F is capacitive and NKRO.  They might be hard to come by, though, as they were pretty popular around here for awhile.

The Model F is certainly not manufactured anymore, but Unicomp still makes the Model M under a different model name.  You may want to PM treivelot (sp?).  He is in Australia and he might be able to help point you in the right direction. IIRC, he is a big IBM fan.

It's better than Texas.  About 5 years ago, they completely "computerized" hunting licenses and a bunch of stores in podunk areas, especially West Texas, had a hard time issuing licenses because they didn't know how to use a computer.

I've been to Southern Australia.  Some of those towns probably have Model Fs in the law offices.

Cheers. But yea, my local police station is the only place in my town thats been robbed, all they took were some uniforms (probably for lulz).

Thanks for all your comments
