Title: What keyboard is this?
Post by: BlindRAGE606 on Sat, 05 January 2013, 10:15:21

It's a Texas Instruments VPU200, the keys look spherical? It's a local seller so I might just make a quickbid just for the keys if its worth it.

Most sphericals off old boards will not fit on MX switches. Correct me if I'm wrong if anyone has information/experience with this particular unit.

Best case it may be some Alps board, but it could be almost anything. TI used a lot of different things back in the day and were not really consistent at all. Unless someone happen to have this, you probably won't know unless you go take a look in person or convince them to pull a keycap and take a picture for you.
