Title: Is it rare? Keyboard appraisal thread!
Post by: Wingklip on Tue, 07 March 2017, 03:40:04
Here's a really old topre I found in the hard off's of Japan
[attachimg=2]
[attachimg=1]
It's a variable force board and has that cringy 90's font that looks oh so out of place.

Model ML0100
Serial: 08125857

Got it for a small fee of a 95$

it's just an old realforce

pretty easy to get them, they're kicking around a lot of secondhand japanese sites/stores

$95 is a pretty good deal though

Rubble domes are pretty rare.

Also the

IBM/Ricoh 5576 Keyboard-1, Alps Plate spring with double keycaps and somewhat hidden lock leds

[attachimg=1]

Which has some wierd scan code for caps lock, num lock, and scroll lock which crash the keyboard when pressed. Chyros perhaps you have some experience with this issue?

Yes, I have the exact same issue with my P70, as a matter of fact. I usually take those caps off the board when I'm using it to prevent accidental use. I don't know what causes it, though.   

Gorgeous board, by the way. Absolutely great.

Ummmm, how do you remap the keys perhaps?

Looking at HID listen it outputs a string that looks longer than usual but does in fact have the capslock in it, just a random bunch comes after it too

Also this thing I found has NKRO too, the japanese did a pretty good job on this, and I think it's sort of overkill too, considering that it's only a terminal board and not a full mlg gaming 1v1 thing. Perhaps it was capacitive?
