Title: Soviet keyboard
Post by: decker on Sun, 31 July 2016, 03:46:32

Hi,
So I love keyboard layouts and I found this picture :

Does anyone know what the command keys do or say ?
Can someone confirm also that on the upper symbols key the main symbol is shown on top.

I've started making a Qwertyish layout for it if you want to play too :

СБРОС = CLEAR (delete)
СТОП = STOP (end)
ПОМ = POM (???)
УСТ = SET
ИСП = COI (???)

good find, it looks like a nice keyboard :) (just realized its the DT wiki image :p)

I hear a Ctrl/Alt/Del sets off a 1950's era Soviet ballistic missile.

The layout actually looks pretty usable, except for the right shift, every key is where it normally is. I doubt you could get this running easily at all, though.

by the looks of it the keycap's stem acts as a plunger and pushes a membrane down which is returned with a spring that goes over the hole on the keyboard and sits under the keycap.
