Switch type on an old HP keyboard?
« on: Sun, 20 November 2011, 19:48:45 »
Hey, guys.

Theres an old Hewlett Packard keyboard back at my office, and I'm interested in what kind of keyswitch it uses. Its a HP SK-2502, to be exact. I'm out of the office for a while, so I can't pull the keys and have a look myself.

Here is an image.

I was wondering if one of you guys might have encountered it before, or know anything about it.
If anyone can satisfy my curiosity, that'd be fantastic.
Current collection:
Filco Majestouch 104-Key, w/ MX Browns
IBM Model M 52G9700
Leopold FC200R, "white" w/ MX Clears
Ducky DK9008S \'Shining\', white backlit w/ MX Blues
Cherry G80-3494(LCYUS-2), w/ MX Reds for Portal Mod

Not mine, but I\'ve got access to:
Filco Majestouch Linear R Limited Edition, w/ MX Reds
Filco Majestouch 2 \'Ninja\' Tenkeyless, w/ MX Blues
Leopold FC500R, w/ MX Browns
