Honeywell XT and an Allen-Bradley Industrial
« on: Sun, 27 May 2012, 21:42:26 »
http://www.ebay.com/itm/ALLEN-BRADLEY-6160-KBD1-COMMERCIAL-101-KEYBOARD-ENGLISH-US-56166-/120918852097?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1c27534201

I was reading the details on this keyboard from the manufacturers site and it says 1mm travel and 150gr force with 1 million keystrokes. The keyboard weighs 4 lbs though!

This one is a NIB XT keyboard with switches made by Micro-switch which also made the hall-effect key switches.
If you live in AZ you can try my keyboards. I usually keep plenty of different ALPS and MX and buckling springs.

I also have a NIB Honeywell, but from much later and AT . Bought it for $60. Not cheap for a rubber dome. And the price just goes up

I like the key caps on the Allen Bradley. Does anyone know if they're MX compatible?

Those windows on the lock keys look like a Keytronic board.

The Allen-Bradley is a pretty handsome board, I must say.

1mm travel under 150g force! WTF?

Industrial strength, indeed!
"Starting in 2011, the deficits again started to shrink. During Obama’s term  the deficit was reduced by $900 Billion  before finally in 2015 the GOP managed to wrangle a “reconciliation” bill out of Obama where he again cut corporate taxes, as well as made permanent some of George W. Bush’s original tax cuts. This is the year everything reversed. Before this, under Clinton, Bush and Obama the deficit in almost every year was gradually decreasing. The balance we had of taxes and the economy was bringing the deficit down, the money coming in was slowly catching up with the money going out until 2015. Trump’s subsequent tax cut has continued the new trend even after the rest of Bush’s cuts have since expired. Obama had an average GDP of 2.3%, with 11.6 million jobs created and unemployment peaking at 10% in 2009, then falling to 4.3% in 2016. If we had continued on that downward deficit track, we would have again reached balance and another surplus in 2017-2018.

I was outbid by 50 cents. If so post your findings!

Thanks!

Edit:  Numbers do seem very odd though....

Yeah, I think so too. Why would someone make an industrial keyboard thats only rated for 1 million keystrokes? And then 1mm to activation with 150g is ridiculous.
