what keyboard is this?
« on: Mon, 03 February 2020, 13:22:20 »
Hi, I just found a weird very old keyboard, i was unable to buy it, though  >:D I got there too late.

https://es.wallapop.com/item/ordenador-sobremesa-antiguo-vintage-420093072

It appears to be made by "SIMOI"? I can't find any info about it, even the owner doesn't know anything...

Good question. I can't find that company on the internet at all. I imagine it was something regional. I wish the picture of the keyboard were more clear. I can't even entirely make out what key is where for sure. Definitely a weird hybrid ANSI layout.

The position of the lock-lights make me thing it could have Key Tronic foam-and-foil switches. Those are not worth getting IMHO.
Besides, the seller is selling the whole computer. It would be sad if you threw everything but the keyboard away.

Cool, even if it is just a BTC foam and foil.
