i asked the seller to pop a key, seller said "Thanks for the email. The switch appears to be a blue/green color."
Green? I doubt it. It's light blue.
if it wasnt so ginormous id get one
-
Wow really? Hm at 12 dollars shipped I'll bite.
-
If these are really blues, then this is a steal. I bought one to find out.
-
Oh ****, no wire included. Does anyone know a source for them, or will these boards only be used by switch harvesters? I might have to learn the skill :)
-
81 Available. I'd get a couple for the switches if they're blues for sure.
So is this the "Kohan SPOS"?

MY membrane, if it's Cherry at all (I don't see anything in the listing indicating it's Cherry).

I dub this keyboard the Kohan SPOS. Lets hope the kohan SPOS is a blue cherry, not a MY board :) I have trouble understanding how a MY board could be defined as blue/green.
The keyboard is probably cherry sourced given the lack of nubs on F J.
This keyboard uses some sort of RJ connector. Not good.
The layout is actually standard. Actually even spacesaver since you save some space around the arrow cluster.
It dosen't use doubleshot, probably pad printed?
Here's another KSI board. I actually like the layout.

Blue/green slider over rubber dome is a possibility...
Obviously hoping for Cherry blues, but all possibilities should be considered.
-
i bought one of them a long time ago...it's a rubber dome (separate domes) membrane
however the keys are compatible with alps switches...but not the best keys (low end pad printing)
-
The result is an extremely durable keyboard that not only integrates with the IBM legacy system, but any PC cash drawer system, and the cost is considerably less than anything already on the market.”
Sounds like it's a terminal to add insult to injury.
-
"any PC cash drawer system"
I think you're good.
-
to be more specific... the alps compatible keys are connected to a plastic stem then inserted like any other rubber dome keyboard...I wouldn't pay 12 bucks for another one
-
i asked him to take a picture or at least describe it, he described it as i quoted.
i promise nothing.
-
i promise nothing.
No hard feelings. We're all responsible to do our own homework, and I for one jumped the gun on this deal.
It was only $12 including shipping and if it had been cherry blues, we'd be partying.
If anything, thanks for sharing what looks at first glace to be a great find.

I thought it was too until I got it.... however I did get some alps compatible keys... I saved the rubber domes for a while (thinking I'd use em somewhere) but tossed them the other day... I actually used a hole punch & made a hole & tried em on a unicomp...but they felt real spongy
