Flytech Technology Keyboard? Anyone know this?

[foxtrott]

Hi Guys, 

can you help me a minute? Anyone knows this keyboard?

German layout with Dyesubs in black, green, blue ...Look at times of the very small F-keys 

I think it's beautiful but I can not find any information about it.

In any case, it is very old, it still has the old DIN connector.

Can you guess what it is worth?
The switches feel almost like Reds ..

Thanks,
foxtrott

Rubba dubba domes.

Looks like a BTC clone.

Ruberdome? Sure? ... -->> -Looks like Cherry MX mount:

Dyesubs Caps fit on my WASD Keyboard..

It's rubber dome. I have a BTC. They fit cherry mx, but it's still rubber dome.

Yeah same as BTC 5100, but not all of them are domes some really early ones have the foam and foil. Would be a good candidate set for using on a TG3 BL82.

This one?

What Switches? MX- Black ?

is it 100% without any doubt a pure rubberdome keyboard? not kind of mixed like Topre (not Topre, but another mixed type) or something like that? I mean he opened the board but there wasn't that rubber mat...

[alaricljs]

He didn't open the board, he just removed the keycaps.

[HongKongFui]

This is what you get out of this thread. I know him in a german forum where he wrote that while cleaning it he saw there is no rubber mat...

Foam and foil capacitance keyboard. If anything is worse than rubber dome over membrane, that is it.

[IvanIvanovich]

Actually I have seen 3 types of the BTC 5100 and owned 2 of them. Some older version also had doubleshots keycaps.
First was foam and foil. Foam and foils have a real pcb, then little pieces of foam wrapped in foil, then a plastic slider with MX compatible then a spring or rubber cup under the keycap.
Second, was rubber capacitive where they used the same pcb as before with little individual rubberdomes with carbon? contacts on the bottom then same MX compatible sliders. I liked this keyboard quite a lot before I discovered MX. It had a pretty good feeling and was reliable for many years before it just stopped working one day. Probably one of closest things you can get to Topre feeling without paying more than $60.
Third was last version with a cheap mylar membrane and full sheet rubberdomes mat, MX compatible slider. This one felt better than a lot of domes, but still you knew it was a domes board and was way crappier feeling than the older version I had. After disappointment with that one I went MX.

[laffindude]

The 2nd I believe it is just conductive carbon completing the circuit, not capacitance. But ya, it is one of the better feeling rubber domes.

[IvanIvanovich]

The PCB look just exactly like foam and foil PCB so I merely assumed. There are absolutely some topics where I don't know much of.

[laffindude]

Don't be quick to take my word for it I said I believe. I can be entirely wrong of course It is actually more likely I am wrong now that I know the foam and foil one has the same PCB. Other capacitance sensing keyboards usually have a gap between the 2 leads. I only ASSumed it is contact. I'll dig around for information later


Edit: found someone talking about the board. They're saying

Sauce = intarweb. So take it with a bag of salt

[IvanIvanovich]

Yeah, there was like 2 half circles on the PCB. On the bottom of the rubberdome there was a little dot that bridged the 2 half on the PCB.
