Title: ID a POS board?
Post by: Internetlad on Fri, 10 October 2014, 16:44:27

Stumbled up on this board, for which the business I work for has an account

https://www.evertek.com/viewpart.asp?auto=87958&cat=32

Pretty good buy, if these are any type of cherry switches, but the lack of information leads me to believe they're not. The only info I can find is that it has a lifetime of 25m keypresses. I've seen elsewhere that MX switches are assumed to have 50m, but rubber domes are far less at ~10 IIRC

So what the heck is in this thing? Is it worth buying to harvest switches from?

It's a rubber dome.

Well, that settles that. Thanks!
