Whoah that almost looks like graves...

How geeky would it be to have a keyboard gravestone?

You can almost make out the buckling springs.

It's definitely buckling springs, you can see the barrels and guide inserts.
Double Fkey row, Vertical enter key, + shaped arrow cluster... ding ding ding!

Yes, I did notice the double f-key row and shaped arrow cluster, :wink:.

Well... maybe people shouldn't throw away those nice keyboards and donate them to geekhack members?

I'd certainly take one of those things for free if its fate was to be in some place in ghana...

Maybe it's still there... anyone visiting ghana?

Well, certainly, I should know what they look like...after all, I'm typing on one right now (and every one of my posts for the last two months).

I did/do have doubts about the pic though...as much as I think I see key barrels, the key tops look too flat. Difficult to tell.

The key shape and spacing look right. As for the keys being flat, the picture is low resolution but you can see like curve shaped dirt markings on the corners of some of the keys like what should the the 4 and 7 keys on the numeric keypad.  I wonder if there are at least some two piece keys as some keys clearly have markings but others seem not to.
