Title: I got another one.

For free.

Unitek K-151L.  This is my first foray into linear switches, Cherry MX Blacks to be specific, and they are wonderful.

I'll get pictures tomorrow in the daylight, as despite having all the lights in the cab on, my lousy camera-phone can't take a decent pic in this low of light.  See, I have one of those old-fangled 'dumbphones' at the moment.  Yeah.

The entire bottom of the thing is metal.  And it has an AT-XT switch.  Damn, that sounds like something out of Star Wars.

Those protocol toggle switches are pretty BA. It definitely takes you back.

Enjoy the new board :)

I haven't even hooked it up yet.  Need an AT -> PS/2 adapter.  But just pecking about on it tells me I will love the MX Blacks.  Linear switches are something else.

Now I'm gonna have to buy something with Blacks and a modern layout... ugh, it's worse than drugs, man.

Oh, and of note, is that this thing makes my '89 Model M feel cheap.  It's seriously heavy, even more so than a Model M.
