At least three different Dell SK-1000REW variants
« on: Wed, 22 May 2013, 07:20:38 »
There seem to be at least three variants of the Dell SK-1000REW keyboard. Probably most SK-1000REW boards have QuietKey printed to the right of the Dell logo. (Some don't though.)

If anyone's going to post about how much they love/hate the SK-1000REW it might be worth specifying which variant you mean. :)

They can be distinguished by the FCC IDs:
GYUR26SK   FCC date 1996-09-23
GYUR43SK   FCC date 1997-06-18
GYUR57SK   FCC date 1998-04-24

A GYUR26SK is shown at http://www2s.biglobe.ne.jp/~duelist/sk-1000rew/index.htm. The keys don't have sliders which separate from the key caps.

A GYUR43SK is pictured at http://www.ebay.com/itm/160996451439.

GYUR57SK pictured at http://www.recycledgoods.com/product/19109_dell_1435c_ps/2-keyboard-104-key-%28gyur43sk%29-sk-1000rew

An SK-1000REW with sliders separate from the key caps is shown in this thread:

But the specific FCC ID of that keyboard isn't given.

Does anyone here have a GYUR43SK or GYUR57SK SK-1000REW board? Would you be able to take a key off and post a picture?

The earlier models are way better than the 1000s

Attached is a photo of a GYUR43SK.  It's a rubber dome, and in spite of the tall glider / spill protector the keys are quite loose and can be rocked 1-1.5mm side to side.  The dome itself is lying loose inside the glider, and has a slightly non-linear response, but not much.  It's vewy wubbewy, not wecommended.

For the record, GYUR10SK (FCC date 1993-04-16; winkeyless, thus SK-1000RE) has individual pieces of rubber dome, while GYUR26SK already has one rubber dome sheet. Both were made in Malaysia.
