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.

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.

WOW, $285 for shipping Allen-Bradley internationally. Hahaha. That's amazing. :'D

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

1mm travel under 150g force! WTF?

Industrial strength, indeed!

Wow, almost $400 shipping on the first one.
They might be making a profit on the shipping, watch out for them GH!

Did anyone here win it?
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.

So we don't know what switches are on the Allen-Bradley?
