Mystery Keys
« on: Thu, 26 May 2011, 07:15:22 »
I found these keys close to my work today.  They were literally laying on the ground right beside a dumpster as I stared at them in horror.  But I'm not sure what kind of keyboard they are from.  I ran around like a madman trying to find anyone that might have committed this crime or know the person who did.  Now for some pics.

The two keys on the right are the ones in question, the one on the left is a Model M key.






Who would do such a thing!?

They look like generic rubber dome keys to me. I think it'd be hard to determine a keyboard of origin by looking at them, but you never know.

agree, perhaps a 'gamer' that thought they were on his way...

The two-piece one (the larger ?/ key) is a Model M buckling spring key.

I believe that is already mentioned in the OP.

Dangit.  I felt like I found the equivalent to big foot turds.  Turned out to be just rabbit turds.
