Post by: ander on Tue, 30 January 2018, 06:24:35
This seemed sufficiently unusual to mention:

NEW CSSR Contactless alphanumeric Hall-effect keyboard CONSUL 262 1990 (https://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-CSSR-Contactless-alphanumeric-Hall-effect-keyboard-CONSUL-262-1990-Tech-Docs/232605672673)

What would this be—early '80s?

You didn't post the actual link.

EDIT: Which is this (https://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-CSSR-Contactless-alphanumeric-Hall-effect-keyboard-CONSUL-262-1990-Tech-Docs/232605672673?hash=item362860e4e1:g:Nb0AAOSwv~1aPUl2).

I believe this is Czech and not Russian. The title says CSSR, and the back of the keyboard says "ZBROJOVKA", which I think indicates Czechoslovakia also.

Very neat keyboard indeed.

Whoops, right you are, sorry. (I'd added the URL tag but not pasted in the actual URL, apparently.) Thanks for including it.

Interesting! I've changed this thread's title appropriately.

It says on the back in plain Check, "rok 90", that's year 1990. And it says so in the eBay listing title, duh.
