Can someone comment on this keyboard
« on: Thu, 21 November 2013, 08:55:37 »
I found a white switch Compaq keyboard in one of our data centers and I was wondering if somoeone can tell me more about this keyboard. If someone can put a price tag on this keyboard that would be cool.

I think that is just a rubber dome with plungers.

Compaq keyboards of that era are nice to use and well-made, but nothing to get excited about.

Pull a key and take a photo so we can be sure.

"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.

Looks like a Chicony built rubber dome over membrane board.

I'm almost certain it's a membrane with those weird white plastics on top of rubber dome. I found one in a closet at work.

Made by NMB. (I realised that from the FCC ID before I even got the pictures at the bottom showing the characteristic sliders.)

Interestingly, that's in NMB's 6600 (low footprint) series — some NMB OEM boards have weird model numbers that don't fit their RTnnnn pattern (e.g. Dell RT7D50, Logitech Y-RJ20 (RT7R04)) — maybe one day I'll figure out the meaning behind these.

Good one Daniel.

It's a NMB Right Touch 6000 series. Low value$ but high end Rubberdome. New they can endure 5 years of intensive typist work.
The first key to go wrong on these is the backspace with a very distinctive problem. Press on a corner and the key stops before it actuate. You need to release and press again.

Some of the Dell Quietkeys have these type sliders on them, they are actually decent keyboards. I found some about a year ago NIB for really cheap so I bought a few...
