Correct.



Thanks for the info Ripster, so this keyboard does not support ps2?

edit: Would it be possible to get a adapter so it can be used with a ps2 connection?

Hahaha - I had forgotten this thread.  Answer to the switch type is here.  I guess this is called the Filco Tsubasa.


Nice, Thanks again for the info.



So what do you guy's think this keyboard is worth?

Turns out the keyboard is indeed ps2. but the seller refuses to take a key off to reveal the switch type.

The shape somehow reminds me of some old Apple keyboard. I could never remember their naming.

They're definitely Simplified White ALPS, meaning clicky and tactile:

I have a similar keyboard like that and here are the pics for the keyboard where I replaced some of the keys from another donor keyboard.

I'm currently using a majestouch with MX black switches but would like something that's better for typing, what cherry MX switch is most similar to that of the keyboard in question?

Thanks for all the answers guys.

I would think blue cherry would be most similar to tactile clicky alps.
