Title: What is this keyboard and how does it have BS?
Post by: chyros on Thu, 19 February 2015, 03:21:33

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/KSI-BUCKLING-SPRING-SERIAL-KEYBOARD-1390-POS-KEYBOARD-PLUS-CARD-READER-S4-4-/231484194633?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item35e5887f49

All in the title really. Could this actually have BS? Is it another one of those financial keyboards?

I’m guessing Cherry MX, but it might also be some kind of Alps clone.

The seller is keyword spamming. There is no buckling spring in it.

I reported it to eBay. I don't expect anything from it, but anyway.

Yeah that's what I figured... Cheers for clearing that up :) .

Yup, definitely not buckling spring. And "Mechanical Switches Rated to 50 Million Actuations" hints at Cherry MX or an MX clone.
