Title: Sun type 5 Cherry MX blacks (taobao)
Post by: IvanIvanovich on Sun, 07 October 2012, 15:54:37

I am tempted myself about this Sun Type 5 with MX (http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=14295717522&ali_trackid=2:mm_14507416_2297358_8935934:1349642875_4k6_487894033), but I can't find any more information. Pretty sure it won't work with PC though it might make a good project for some.

It is not a real Sun Type 5, but it has the same layout, and I suppose that it would talk Sun's protocol.

Check out the Deskthority wiki page (http://deskthority.net/wiki/Sun_Type_5#Cable_and_protocol) (that I wrote) for how to use it with a modern PC or Mac. There may be more ways than those I have listed.
