Chicony roulette: KB-5181, starting bid $23 shipped
« on: Sat, 12 April 2014, 18:01:52 »
Could be: white Alps, MX blue, SMK “monterey” blue, MX-mount Futaba, or maybe something else entirely! I asked the seller to take a picture of the back label and a switch w/ a keycap pulled, but no reply in several days.

If someone gets this one, please report back with the results!

Also, a KB-5331 (very similar to 5181) for $55 shipped OBO; again no switch pictured so it could be anything: http://www.ebay.com/itm/330877902281

Yes, it is a shame. These are really delightful boards, but that tiny Backspace makes them all but unusable for me.

So too is the MAGA Republican Party. One of those legs is the nativist extremism of Stephen Miller. The second is the anti-government extremism of Russell Vought.
And the last is the open, flamboyant corruption of Donald Trump — a corruption that degrades a people’s faith in government and makes it all the easier to remake the state in the image of a single man."  - Jamelle Bouie 2025-11-17

I'll take the tiny backspace if it means I can have a proper sized Enter key.

It was tempting but due to the damage not worth the guess on key color. And the backspace is perfectly fine if you are used to it. It's pretty easy for my fingers to find and press at the corner.

Also this captcha is bull****.
