Hey, I know that keyboard!

However I don't consider myself a total keyboard geek.  Just #1.

I take it you don't have the board, if you're asking us to describe how it feels?

I can't help you, but I'd like to see some pics of the keyswitches and caps if you can get them.

A quick Googling yielded this. I haven't got time to read it, I've gotta go back to work, but you might find something useful.

Nice thanks to both of you but speacially you ripster, anyways I was googling this brand and model and didnt found anything, I even went straight to Wiki and nothing came up... thanks for helping out both of you.

My link is better.  Those Deskthority.net guys wikis need work.

I haven't actually bothered to look at theirs yet.
The GH one has usually answered all the questions I've had, so I've not needed to look elsewhere.
I guess that means you're right.

Not that you'd ask I suppose, but if you want someone to proof-read any of the wikis, I wouldn't mind helping. I suppose its the least I could do to help out around here.

Bringing this thread back from the dead.

I found one in the trash a few weeks ago. It has that unmistakable rubber dome feel (maybe a bit more tactile) with slightly longer key travel.

Wonder if anybody is still interested / curious.

Mitsumi hybrid switches. It's a very common board.

Ah I see. Didn't expect these to be common anymore, given how long it's been. Plus it looks like something people would be inclined to throw away.

Some pics were posted on Deskthority many years ago. Mine looks the exact same.

That's exactly why they're common xD .
