Just bought this for £2 at a bazaar. Has a click to it like MX Blue and PS/2 connection. What kind of switch is it?
-
Looks like cherry MY switches but I'm not sure :confused:
-
Those are MX-compatible futaba switches (http://deskthority.net/wiki/Futaba_clicky_switch).
-
Also, the thing I thought was PS/2 is too big. It has 6 line. Is it din or something. Like XLR, but with 6.

Yep, just a 5-pin DIN. You only need a passive converter to PS2 so you should be able to find one for a few dollars

lol I miscounted as 6

Also, what kind of keycap is this? They could be doubleshot but I don't know.

They are doubleshots and they look in decent shape. Nice find.
-
Yeah, DS, and those are decently thick too, certainly worth the money
-
Yeah, I'd say that that's worth what you paid for it. You can certainly use it, but if you don't want to, those keycaps are pretty good quality.

Close, but these are actually SMK switches. (http://deskthority.net/wiki/SMK_Cherry_MX_mount). Nice find op - a lot of people prefer these switches to Cherry blues, say.
