Title: Cool Xerox Keyboard
Post by: 1391406 on Fri, 24 April 2015, 19:05:33

It's a Xerox 54D (http://www.ebay.com/itm/vintage-Xerox-54D-keyboard-for-6085-removable-12-034-cable-/171766404242?&_trksid=p2056016.m2516.l5255) and I think it looks pretty darn sleek. The price is too steep for my blood, but I'd love to have it. For all I know it may be a rubberdome, though.

It's likely tactile Green Alps with dyesub PBT (https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=60956.0;nowap), but could be something else.

Someone must still need these for Xerox machines; they get pretty high prices and I don’t think that’s keyboard enthusiasts buying them.

Still, NIB is pretty sweet.

Damn businesspeople! Don't they realize keyboards are strictly for fun?  :mad:

Creepy Christ, that's pretty steep Oo . Are all SKCM Neon Green (from now on, this is an official name 8) ) boards this expensive? I'd love to try these out someday, but surely not at that price xD .
