Brand New Classic Computer Keyboard, US $9.99
Must be a classic, says so right on the box! :wink:

Logo looks familiar...

I thought it did as well but it's just a bit too low res to identify, bugging me though just can't place it yet.

[REVENGE]

Well, it's clearly a rubber dome and not one of the reputable ones at that, so I have no idea why anyone would want it.

Stop wasting my time OP.

Apologies, was a feeble attempt at humor, which ripster has already informed me is unsuitable, :wink:

Does bug me that I can't place that logo though, I'm sure that I've seen it before.

[TexasFlood]

Next time I'm reporting your ass.

Well, as long as it's just my ass...
So tell me what that logo is, #1 keyboard expert on the planet, it's still bugging me.

[TexasFlood]

That's about what results I had as well.  I -think- that I finally identified it though...

[TexasFlood]

That's similar to my initial results but think it's Mouse Systems...

[TexasFlood]

That's similar to my initial results but think it's Mouse Systems, like this one.
Although a historical company name & logo, this keyboard is likely nothing special.

"Very crappy rubber-dome" :sad:

[TexasFlood]

Open it up. Could be NMB.

Didn't buy it yet but if it's cheap enough might do for the hell of it, better pics on the pricier one...

[TexasFlood]

I'm serious.  I think it's a good NMB ala Compaq.

See my keyboard list in my subforum.

Maybe so, spacing looks very similar, although not identical I think...

[dorkvader]

That compaq appears to have larger 1.5 CTRL keys, and smaller 1.25 (?) other modifiers, whereas the mouse systems appears to have 1.5 modifiers all the way across! And I thought the spacebar on my unicomp was short.

Not a lot of info to be found on it, per the FCC filed by Unikey Electronics of Taiwan in '95

Logo looks familiar...I think I've had one of those before.

As most of us would guess, likely useless and worthless.

it might not be worthless if it's doubleshot keys!

Nice Avatar!

Nice Avatar!

Your avatar inspired me actually.  I've had typewriter avatars in the past but not animated.  So I found an image of an Underwood like the one I have in my basement.  Then I played around with GIMP to get some animation into it.  I would like to animate the keys & carriage like yours but figured I better not get too ambitious out of the gate. I can enhance it later if I feel the need and have the time.

[TexasFlood]

I despise animated avatars myself.  But I don't whine about it like some Geekhackers do when they see an avatar they don't like.

But anyhoo you need to see Woody Allen's Olympia sometime.  ALL his scripts were written on it and how he cuts and pastes is hilarious.

I knew I was in danger of drawing the ire of the animated avatar nazi, and sure enough! :wink:
Woody's "cut and paste" or more accurately "cut and staple" is pretty funny, yes.

I have a animated Geekgirl Gif that Rajagra did for me. But yeah, I don't want to get the moderators upset.

Use it, animation is good!

[TexasFlood]

Oh, I see!  You must have done it.  Sorry.

I'll resize and use.

It's not working right is it, hmm

[TexasFlood]

Try this.  See my avatar, seems to be working for me when loaded directly from my PC.
If it doesn't for you then something is getting translated wrong between here and there.
Edit, just looked at my post and the below does look funny, not sure why, looks OK in my avatar.
I can send you the original file if you'd like.

[TexasFlood]

Dunno, I don't get that weird effect when I load the local version to my avatar, even using the version in my earlier post.  Weird.

*Edit, never mind, I looked back and found one version of the file where the layers were set to replace the base layer rather than combine.  I guess that's the version you got and somewhere along the line I blew it away but found it cached, at least for now, in my geekhack file management tool.  Not sure how I did that, wrong bit set someone. Mia culpa... Subsequent version is fixed, VB glitch notwithstanding, so don't blame your screwy avatar on me, :wink:
