What keyboard do they use on Reno 911 in the squad-car?
« on: Wed, 22 May 2013, 11:38:48 »
Question is simple, "What keyboard do they use on Reno 911 in the squad-car?" but I fear the answer will be harder to come across.  I'll try and grab an example off my computer, but the caps are beige and blue. 

Compact layout. GO!

I'm having a hard time finding a picture of the interior of the car, let alone the keyboard XD

EDIT: I have a feeling it might just be a non-functioning prop though...

I'll bet they just use off-the-shelf police cars / parts for that show.  Search ebay for "police keyboard", you'll probably find it.

Check out the TG3 BL-82

It's not a TG3 keyboard.  It looks waaayyy too old for that.  I'll grab an image when I get home.  It's mesmerized me because of how awesome the keycaps are colored.

I found something that is close... but this is more advanced than what they have.  It looks like a TG3 as well.

BTC 5100 is what is in the prior post. They are a pretty nice rubberdome typically, though some very old ones do exist in the capacitive variety too.

Thanks Ivan.  Pretty sure that the one used in the Reno 911 cruisers is the Motorola KDT-480 keyboard.  Those keycaps look exactly the same!  So excited.  Anyone have info on the KDT-480?

Possibly keycaps made by SP???
