Title: Amkey 93-0002 starting at $@0 + shipping
Post by: nubbinator on Sat, 29 November 2014, 19:13:11

It's an odd little board and I haven't been able to get in touch with the seller to pull a cap.  Looking at it, it looks like it's either an unusual profile for MX or it's NMB Hi-Tek (Space Invaders).  The offset LED on caps and the profile of the caps have me leaning toward Space Invaders.

Could be a fun project for someone wanting a keyboard with a built in mouse/trackball like some of the IBM Model Ms.

I do, but sadly not this layout. Since my Access-IS is too big and a smaller matrix isn't showing up on ebay I'm fantasizing about removing some Cherry keys and putting the trackball there instead.

Pretty sure that’s going to be Key Tronic. I would be extremely surpised to find Hi-Tek or Cherry switches there.

My guess is keytronic based on keycaps shape / font and especially the caps lock LED position.

Yep, Keytronic capacitive.
