Title: Honeywell 5921 Keyboard with Non-FTM Oak Switches
Post by: OldIsNew on Thu, 27 September 2018, 01:30:00
This is a bit of a cross post, but I'm curious about the switches in this board.


Board pre-cleanup:
[attach=3]           [attach=4]

I cleaned up and converted the board to USB with a Teensy and didn't want to risk damaging a switch by desoldering one so the pics aren't so great:

[attach=5]          [attach=6]         

[attach=7]          [attach=11]           [attach=8]       

[attach=9]          [attach=10]


Teensy and cleaned up case,  retrobrited keys and typing video:

[attach=2]       [attach=1]






The switches are linear (except the LOCK key which is latching), non-clicky and fairly smooth - not bad.  Does anyone know more about them?
