What exactly is this keyboard?
« on: Mon, 04 June 2012, 16:51:20 »
Was looking through eBay, and found this. It says "clicky keyboard" so I'm amusing it's mechanical. buckling springs maybe? I'm sorta doubting its mechanical it all.  Maybe I'll buy one, just because I'm curious. :P

Note the "KeyTronic" logo in the bottom right corner.

Yes, I saw that. I can't find out anything about it. All I really wanted to know was the switch type

usually keytronics are rubber membrane, but people say they feel awesome for rubber membrane. Not sure about this one though, ask the seller to remove a keycap and send you a pic.

I'm willing to hedge bets that it's a rubber dome Model M ripoff.

As bazemk said, get him to yank a cap.

From my 2 minutes of intense research, I would think it might have come from a system like http://www.atarimagazines.com/compute/issue159/126_Ares_48633DX.php that

I got a keyboard that looks really similar a home, and it is indeed a rubber dome. They probably felt good 20 years ago, but now, there are some really insane weight differences along the board. Typing on it would really not be pleasant, even if it might be better than an classic rubber dome.

I pulled that keyboard out of the dust a few months ago, after getting my topre.
Im saying they look alike, but then most keyboards at that time looked the same :D

I have a NIB Honeywell version of this board and they are not clicky in the switch. They however make a clicky sound when tying due to the design of barrel but there is not tactile click. they feel real nice for a RD. For $9 i'd say it is worth it. I payed $60 for mine.
