Just snagged me a rubberized tenkeyless popo special
« on: Sun, 22 August 2010, 22:12:27 »
Got it NIB for $28 shipped. The Texas Industrial Products SL-81-PS/2.  Regular retail is $449.00.

I'm assuming it will have the same mechanical/rubber mechanism as the one Netwebber picked up in this thread. I'm especially digging the red backlighting.

Key Switch Material: Industrial Silicone Rubber
Life: Greater than 10 million cycles
Travel: 0.060" (1.5mm)
Actuation Force: 5oz (130g) :eek:
Feedback: Tactile with mechanical snap

The thing was just too darn cool to pass up.

Bad news man.  This dosen't look mechanical.  It'll be good for typing at the waterslides though! :)

I think it definitely won't be like netwebber's because this keyboard is basically a sheet of rubber with some kind of switches. They could be mechanical, but it would make more sense to be rubber dome -- usually those types of rubber sheet keyboards are.

And remember, you can get "tactile" responses from a rubber dome.

But we'll see, chances are you may be disappointed.

Probably not, but this line:

gives me a glimmer of hope. ;)

It's a new-in-box $450 keyboard that's built like a tank and set me back only $28.  The only way I'd be disappointed is if it didn't arrive! :wink:
