Sounds dirty. I like that...

looks like a metal backing.

scratch that.....plastic. but a normal M controller inside

I doubt it would be a standard controller - the the traces on the membrane would be too different.

Only 50 keys.

how much for the Filco Tenkeyless Otaku (Blue Switches)

Constructed like a Model F but with membrane like a Model M. Interesting.

I didn't notice that. Well spotted!

The internals may have been derived from a Model F design.

It looks very similar to a standard M controller - eg, this looks almost identical. Possibly the microcontroller programming is different, though.

They used to use these keyboards at the supermarket I went to.

Another thing that has occured to me - since it has Model F like construction, I wonder if it would sound more like a Model F than a Model M...

Machamp says THIS IS SO PERFECT FOR TOUCH TYPING

Touch typing is not a huge concern in POS applications. But yes, it would be a ***** to type on.

Maybe these crazy irishmen may like typing on that keyboard:
