Some Korean mini kbd
« on: Tue, 20 December 2011, 16:26:27 »
Since it's dated 2010, I'd expect a lot of people have seen it already, but to me it was new.

Google Translate makes me think it's a single custom job? Or is it a prototype for one of those near-future minis that everyone is talking about preordering?

I like that even though PgUpDnHomeEnd are on a Fn layer, they can all be hit one-handed. Some key locations and shapes are strange. (Print Screen?)

Question(s) for someone who has used the ancient ALPS switches pictured. Are they linear? If not, How do they compare to Complicated Blue ALPS(Or complicated whites?)?

If you live in AZ you can try my keyboards. I usually keep plenty of different ALPS and MX and buckling springs.

I seem to recall these being used in rack mount drawers for terminal / mainframe servers in once of the places I worked 10+ years ago. Something about them that was unique (I think it was the blue square key...halt?) but I can't really recall the details. Used a huge connector that looked sort of like an oldschool printer cable.
