The ever elusive HALL EFFECT board?!?!?1!?1one1juan?!

Also, re-positionable switches

I considered going for it myself, but it's probably going to be a bit too much work to get it to work with a pc, and I'm not really a collector.

If anyone here gets it, please do a review

Keycaps and PCB traces' style look very similar to what I've posted here. Mine I'm sure at 90% is capacitive though.

This is a beauty.

These things usually feel like crap.

Linear crap. Well I guess crap in it's natural state IS linear.

I don't know... sometimes it's tactile.

Honeywell bought Micro Switch which made the Hall effect switches (I believe after using them as a supplier for some time) You can even see the Micro Switch label there.

Went for $109.50. Anyone going to fess up? Otherwise, I'd say it was webwitted

Once again, most likely a Japanese collector through a buying service.

They don't mind Linear crap I guess. I'm serious when I say most of this vintage keyboard stuff may look interesting but feels horrible.

Most vintage keyboards are ironically still bad in contrast to modern ones. If the key feel isn't bad, the layout certainly is, and incompatible with any useful interface.

IBM really had the best keyboards around. But that shouldn't be a surprise. =)
