Title: Fujitsu FKB4725
Post by: 127001 on Fri, 10 January 2014, 20:12:03: http://www.ebay.com/itm/321295048791

Fujitsu peerless switches apparently. I know nothing about it our the switch but I only see something like this every few months so I thought I'd post it.

It's fairly tactile, but the tactility goes away if you really hammer on it, which I guess can be said for most keyboards.

So you're 341880?

What's the significance of that number? Just like I'm wondering what's the significance of 127001.

Don't know what an AT adapter runs to get that one to work but I'd imagine you could use that as a bargaining chip :p

With a few .'s it becomes 127.0.0.1 which is the localhost/loopback IP.

Pretty sure plenty of people around here use AT keyboards regularly...

Usually it's just a few dollars for an AT-to-PS/2 adapter, then you can use any PS/2 port or (most) any PS/2-to-usb adapter. I prefer the ID innovations ones, but they are like $15.

So it's not THAT expensive. I have AT to PS/2 adapters (as well as the much less useful other way) that I'm not even using.

It's my mom's account, but the entire family uses it for convenience purposes. "34" was 10-code for police officer in the department that my mom worked at, and "1880" was her badge number.
