Title: My friend snagged a Dell Quietkey (old version) from school for free.
Post by: ANightOnCloudNine on Sun, 24 April 2016, 12:58:38: Will provide pictures as soon as he has some, any other quietkey owners to tell my friend what to look out for?

(sticky discrete dome with slider over membrane)

I have gotten them with both light and dark blue domes, and also orange. I don't think that there was any real difference in feel, and they were all the RT series.

I've also found a purple version, but that was also the same. I'm actually saving different colour NMV sticky domes xD .
