Datasheet

The Datasheet says it uses a membrane to register but is silent about what it uses for feedback, although it does mention IBM and Eraze-ease I assume it's rubber dome rather than a low-end Model M15.

Still, and interesting keyboard and interesting layout with two sets of arrow keys.

I never noticed the second set of arrows when I first saw that. Was too busy thinking how good it would be with a trackball placed between the two halves.

Now if the numpad was a third part that could be moved around, I'd be all over it.

I used this keyboard for more than 10 years before switching to a Kinesis Contoured.
Its left set of arrows is useful while eating a cup of instant noodle and browsing on the web.

Your name is "Chef" and you're eating Cup-O-Noodles?  Shame on you.

Can you shed any light on what type of keys it uses? If you had it for ten years of noodling then you must have had the keycaps off for cleaning at some point.

There is another of these on ebay UK now for £10 inc postage. Not a bad price for a new one, I'd say, but I don't want to buy yet another keyboard that I know I'll never use.
