So i was at a local pc store picking up some refurbished systems for my school when I noticed they had a massive pile of old keyboards, after wading through the thousands of old keytronics I came across this guy.
A Fujitsu FKB4700,  Felt mechanical so I popped off a keycap to see a switch I could not recognize at all, Mind you i'm pretty new to mechanical keyboards, do anyone have any info on this particular model.

There is a love hate affair with this keyboard, with more haters than lovers. I got one for free, took it apart, then left it in pieces next to my public dumpster.

EDIT: Oh, I actually jacked the membrane, controller, and cable. I think I've used the cable already.

Hey, Key Tronic keyboards are not so bad either. The best rubber dome there is. Built like a tank. The key caps will get shiny before anything else breaks.

That will be "Peerless" switches (without seeing them). Not a favorite round these parts, but still unique.
