I just purchased a Micron PC 5121 online and it's described as "clicky", does anyone have information on this model?  Thanks

Hope you didn't pay much, because it's probably a domes or maybe a foam and foil made by BTC. It sure as $hit won't be clicky.

thanks, i paid 12 bucks for it.  Oh well.  I had seen on youtube where a user had a Micron PC keyboard that was some type of mechanical switch.   It seemed to be buckling spring or maybe NMB space invaders and took a shot in the dark at which model as there is not much info that I can find on them.

Any chance anyone knows which Micron PC keyboards had the clicky mechanical switches?

Thanks,
J

You can get space invaders for not too much, like this one. I didn't spend much time searching so there is likey some for a better price.
