Title: anyone can help me to identify this keyboard?
Post by: jotillo on Fri, 31 October 2014, 04:39:50
Hello, i found this for sale:

the saller says, it's no label or identification of any kind on the keyboard.

I wonder if it is worth buying it and what type of switches are below those keys?

thank you. greetings from Argentina

Some type of terminal board, which means it most likely won't work with your PC. No idea of the switches used, you could ask the seller to pull a keycap and send a pic if you really want to find out more.

I have a 122 keys, Model M working with my PC with a Soarer's converter and apparently this keyboard has the same RJ45 plug

it's an SDL connector. All the model Ms that I know of with SDL connectors are PS/2. existance of SDL connector suggests HP. Could be rubberdome.

Keycaps look very HP'ish (might be an HP clone?). Might be a dome, but since things look a bit off (and I haven't seen this variant before), probably worth taking a chance.
