Title: Sejin SKR-1032?
Post by: Tarzan on Thu, 14 March 2013, 09:45:12

Seen some pics of a Seijin SKR-1032, looks a bit like a later IBM Model M clone.  Anyone know what switches this uses?  Are keycaps interchangeable with any other brand?

I'm no expert on Sejin Electron, but they're notable for being the most prominent customer of Futaba's clicky switches, using the standard negative mount (slot in the slider, cruciform peg in the slider, which is the opposite of Cherry MX). (The Cherry MX-compatible Futabas are typically found in some Chicony boards.)

They ping like crazy. I'd really love one of these keyboards, as the switches feel exceptionally smooth.
