Title: Keyboard?
Post by: ManicMatt1125 on Sat, 14 February 2015, 13:24:44

Can anyone identify this keyboard?  I just picked it up for $5 it interested me because of the weight

Couldn't find anything in a quick Google search, though the stem on the cap makes me believe it's some sort of rubber dome. Could you take a close up of the slider hole? I'm not even sure what to call that space :p

It's kinda looks like a rubber dome. This is the best pic I can get.  There's a white "thing" inside that can't be seen

Defo rubber some, although it appears from that picture to be a black mat for some reason. Is the keyfeel any good?RD should be easy to identify by touch alone...

Hmm is the case worth anything? I guess I'd need to take it apart

This is probably a noon question but what do people look for in old cases? I'd imagine it would have to be a specific layout. Anything else?
