Title: Switch type on an old HP keyboard?
Post by: Henry Allen Venture on Sun, 20 November 2011, 19:48:45

Hey, guys.

Theres an old Hewlett Packard keyboard back at my office, and I'm interested in what kind of keyswitch it uses. Its a HP SK-2502, to be exact. I'm out of the office for a while, so I can't pull the keys and have a look myself.

Here is an image (http://cf.mp-cdn.net/2b/3d/66e774e77115e8b065c72441379e.jpg).

I was wondering if one of you guys might have encountered it before, or know anything about it.
If anyone can satisfy my curiosity, that'd be fantastic.
