I don't know much about this, but I got it at a pawn shop today for $1.
I got it because I could tell the switches were clicky. The whole thing was FILTHY, though. I spent a couple hours soaking everything in detergent (except the switches and electrical parts, of course ;)).
The Spacebar switch was broken, so i replaced it with the Pause/Break switch. I figure I'll use the Spacebar more than the Pause/Break key.
So here's the pics:

So can anyone tell me more about the switches or the keyboard? Thanks!

Good find for a dollar. The wide keys look quite bizarre. No idea what the switches are but they look like space invaders.
-
Lol, yea! They do! :D

That's really cool, but i know nothing about it. How's it type?
-
It feels nice, but I can't use it... it's an AT connector, lol.

they're nmb switches.

I thought NMB only made fans. I guess they make all things electrical. I think it's a Japanese company.

Assuming you're not kidding (I suck at registering things like that, sorry)You can look for an AT to PS/2 adapter; worked for mine. Even put a USB adapter over it.

Oh, the switches say "HI-TEK" on them. It was hard to see before cause its written in black on black plastic.
