Not likely but could anyone guess at the switch types on this old Xerox board?
« on: Fri, 05 June 2015, 15:57:16 »


The keycaps don't look like rubberdomes but I don't know what else they could be. The only marking on it is Xerox G25.

My Xerox had tactile Green Alps, but the cap shape was surrender, as was the layout.  Take a gamble?

Hmm, I'll consider it. Just don't want to end up with a board that will sit in the corner with others I've gambled on.  :p

Definitely ITW Magentiv Valve based on the pics they posted.  I just got burned on a TI board with those.  Not horrible, but not Alps.
