Title: Dell SK-1000R(S) - which switches?
Post by: IBI on Sun, 24 May 2009, 09:06:49

A Dell SK-1000RS has just come up on ebay UK here (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Dell-Keyboard_W0QQitemZ160337051220QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Computing_ComputerComponents_KeyboardsMice?hash=item2554d53e54&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66%3A2%7C65%3A10%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318%7C301%3A0%7C293%3A4%7C294%3A50), it may well be earlier than or comtemporary to the AT102 as it doesn't have any windows keys. It looks a bit like the quiettouch but doesn't have the logo.

Looking around it appears as it might be the Silitek Space Saver SK-1000R (http://supportapj.dell.com/support/edocs/dta/SILSPACE/index.htm), but unfortunately Dell's site doesn't list what switches it uses. It does list a 'Keycap pull-up force: 1 kg (2.2 lb) minimum" so I wonder if it might use Alps, but does anyone know for sure?
