Greetings from Chuck Baggett
« on: Sun, 21 December 2014, 05:07:44 »
Reading earlier about someone with a Model M I started thinking about the Reveal keyboard I used to use at work in the 1990s. It was a wonderful tactile keyboard. I think it had Alps white switches, thought I'm not sure. I can't find any comprehensive list of Reveal Computer Products keyboard models, though.

While looking tonight I was reminded that I also used a Focus 2001, which was also a nice tactile kb.

I have a Model M, but it seems a bit stiff, like maybe it needs oiling or cleaning or something.

Does anyone know of a list of the Reveal Computer Products keyboard model numbers?

Welcome to Geekhack!

Your Model M might be in need of a bolt mod.

Not sure about the Reveal keyboards though.

"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

Sorry I cant remember all the models. I was a product manager at Reveal.
The keyboard were from Lite On the manufacturer were based in Taiwan. The company there was Siltek.
I am also looking for an old keyboard like that. The term back then was chiclety, but now everyone wants quiet keyboards.
