2 Vintage Dell PS2 Clicky Windows Keyboards Black
Starting bid $15 or $25BIN

Pretty sure these are just rubber domes.  Dell and other rubber domes are quite often listed as clicky.  Do sellers really not know what clicky mean or being deceptive?  Maybe they're "clacky" and they don't know the difference?  Maybe they know clicky means a higher price and are just greedy?  Maybe some of both.

Seller info:

Two Dell PS2 type keyboards (the kind with the roundish hookup), tested on my old Windows 98 machine and cleaned up by me and they work great. They "feel" right and as you type you get that audible click, PERFECT for both typing and gaming. One is a RT7D20 and the one pictured is a SK-8110, I can't see any difference. TWO keyboards for one money! Keep watching because I have several more that I will eventually list.

Those are regular Dell rubber domes. Junk ones I may add, as they cheaped out big time on stabilizing the longer keys (no metal wire stabilizers), and those keys tend to bind especially with age.

Certainly not mechanical, and nowhere near clicky, I still like that particular keyaboard much more than your average rubber dome. They do wear out rather fast, but they are also very inexpensive.

Notable Switches I have tried:
black cherry, blue cherry, brown cherry, clear cherry, cherry M84, white alps, black alps, cream alps, Monterey blue alps, Fujitsu Peerless, Gateway2000 rubber dome, Keytronic rubber dome, Model M buckling spring, Model F buckling spring, futaba, black space invader

I have a bunch of these at work and they are pretty worthless. Good luck with your sale though.
