AST keyboard?
« on: Sat, 26 March 2011, 11:09:59 »
Does anyone know what kind of keyboard this is? Could it be mechanical? The seller claims it has a "good classic sound". I found it on a swedish auction site.

The board was made by NMB. Boards with that case design could contain either mechanical "Space Invader" switches or rubber domes.

You need to read the FCC ID or pop a cap and look underneath to know which one it is.
I suppose that by now, the seller will have received a dozen messages asking him to either. (one of those is from me ...) :-)

Space Invaders are the only low profile switches I know of that actually feel good to type on.

On other hand there is no real money anymore, it's all fake...
