SP keycap, it's motorolla branded same model as the Wyse 85 terminal keyboard, among others. Nice for free for sure with those vintage blacks.

I want to steal your picture of that compose character key.  That way when people are being dumb on the internet, I can just post that.

I like the Compose Character cap. "Compose your Character, man!"

Nice.  Almost the same layout as my old Link terminal keyboard.
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

We're being moved all over the building, so there is a lot of cube cleaning going on.  I've never typed on MX blacks before.  They are not as bad as I expected.  Obviously, I can't actually use the board.  The caps are double-shot.

I also found a really dirty Dell AT101W with black Alps switches, which I am typing on now.  I am pleasantly surprised as how nice it is!
