Title: Any information on Preh POS keyboards?
Post by: berserkfan on Fri, 28 February 2014, 10:06:34

Here's one at what seems to be a decent price.

PrehKeyTec MCI 96 (Keys) POS Programmable keyboard with magnetic stripe readhttp://www.ebay.com/itm/321335405772?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l26

What I've heard is that they are rubber domes (but they claim 30million keypresses). I'm mainly interested in finding something:
1) easy to program for 64bit windows7
OR
2) can be adapted to teensy

3) Cherry MX switches or at least a non-yucky non-wet newspaper feel.

Preh is rubber dome every time from the research I've done.  I wish they had Cherry MX since that would mean I could find some affordable boards to make switch tries out of.

Because of this I have removed preh from my KB searches.
