Title: NMB RT101 found at work (Sliders over dome)
Post by: Boskr on Fri, 08 September 2017, 14:43:54

Hello all,

I've stumbled across one of these at work, though it is significantly yellowed. They use sliders over dome, so technically not mechanical I guess. It's an RT101 by "Digital" (though technically made by NMB as far as I know).

Just curious if anyone knows of a reason why it would be useful to keep (other than, of course, to add something to the collection).
It's really loud and clacky to type on, feels pretty decent (although really not different from a regular membrane). Might just replace my work board with it.

I have one of these (given to me by a customer) and I like it - definitely a decent keyboard for what it is.
