Post by: 3K on Fri, 08 April 2016, 17:44:41

Bough the board because I thought it had interesting switches, but got these.

Board is this:

Any idea what switches these are? They are linear, seem to travel short distance and some a squeaky spring.

Is that a variant of the IBM 4980 127-key? No labels on the bottom? Are you teasing us? (http://yoursmiles.org/ksmile/snail/k4711.gif)
