Title: Plum 86?
Post by: Daniel Beardsmore on Sun, 04 May 2014, 08:04:12

The "The 90% keyboard layout." topic reminded me of the Plum 86:

Does this keyboard actually exist?

That website appears to have the only known photos of it. From what I've read, I seem to recall that people talk of Plum as a manufacturer, but that keyboard is virtually identical to a SIIG MiniTouch. Does anyone know anything more about it? Has anyone ever seen the rear label and FCC ID?

Here (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=7096.msg116494#msg116494)'s a thread with a few comments from someone claiming to own one.

If I recall correctly, these also used to show up on TaoBao, but I haven't seen them there lately.

I saw that topic before. Judging by his English, and his use of the same photo, I don't know that hamlet isn't the same guy. He was only active for a few days in September 2009.
