Title: HP blank keys iso at Ikea
Post by: SamirD on Sun, 18 October 2015, 18:26:09

So im here at Ikea and they have these non-functional hp keyboards that are probably rubber dome, but with these nice fully blank keycaps.  Anyone know anything about these boards?

So i found one with a spacebar that someone mangle and they have some sort of witch-like pice on top of the rubber membrane.  Its not a design that i recognize from what ive seen, but the spacebar had a rectangular protrusion like something that i have seen on here.  These non-functional keybaords may be worth harvesting lkeycaps from since they are a very nice gray  that is if they can fit on other switches.

I think you need to sneak a keypuller in and get some pics :))

Could be slider over rubber dome.

On that one where the spacebar came off I could see it pretty clearly.  And...

Could be slider over rubber dome.  I didn't have the ability to take a pic and post it. :(

...it looked exactly like this--a slider over a what looked like a keytronic-style rubber dome--same color and look as I've seen in a thread on here.

Someone with a keypuller should go to ikea and get the full scoop on them.  Looks like the keys may be compatible with another switch.
