anyone can help me to identify this keyboard?
« on: Fri, 31 October 2014, 04:39:50 »
Hello, i found this for sale:



http://caseros.olx.com.ar/teclado-antiguo-para-terminal-iid-703851753#galleryContainer

the saller says, it's no label or identification of any kind on the keyboard.

I wonder if it is worth buying it and what type of switches are below those keys?

thank you. greetings from Argentina

All i could find was a geekhack thread from 8 months ago.  Looks to be the same exact pictures:

Some type of terminal board, which means it most likely won't work with your PC. No idea of the switches used, you could ask the seller to pull a keycap and send a pic if you really want to find out more.
Buying more keycaps,
it really hacks my wallet,
but I must have them.

I have a 122 keys, Model M working with my PC with a Soarer's converter and apparently this keyboard has the same RJ45 plug

it's an SDL connector. All the model Ms that I know of with SDL connectors are PS/2. existance of SDL connector suggests HP. Could be rubberdome.

Keycaps look very HP'ish (might be an HP clone?). Might be a dome, but since things look a bit off (and I haven't seen this variant before), probably worth taking a chance.
