Title: AT&T w/Olivetti sliders
Post by: ander on Tue, 15 December 2015, 08:18:54

I saw this odd-looking AT&T on eBay last night:

AT&T 6300 Keyboard - KBD 302 Made in Italy (http://www.ebay.com/itm/AT-T-6300-Keyboard-KBD-302-Made-in-Italy-S-0466486-ships-worldwide-/191085843211)


(http://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/exUAAMXQEgpTEMrJ/s-l1600.jpg)


...and was going to ask what  the heck kind of switches they were. I'd never seen anything remotely like them.

Well, good old Deskthority. It turns out they're Olivetti domes with sliders (http://deskthority.net/wiki/Olivetti_dome_with_slider). Whoever made these particular ones had some fun with the colors.

Wow never seen such a switch before. Very interesting!
