Amkey MPTK-129 keyboard from B-52 Stratofortress
« on: Tue, 05 August 2014, 18:42:37 »
Got this from an auction posted in this thread. I'm moving this weekend so I haven't really have any time to play around with it but I wanted to post a few pictures of a quick tear down.

Damn!

You are surely the envy of the keyboard-collecting universe about now.

The "Rubout" key takes on a whole new meaning here.

"We are on the precipice of signing an agreement to advance talks with Iran that preserves the good parts of former President Barack Obama’s Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) while amplifying its flaws.
Mr. Obama came to an agreement that did not involve America’s most precious treasure, the lives and limbs of our soldiers.  The 1.7 billion dollars of frozen Iranian assets released by Obama pales in comparison to the 300 billion being floated as a rebuilding fund.
So far, speculation that Iran will be free in the future to continue its nuclear program is the opposite of Trump’s stated goal for the war and in direct opposition to what Mr. Obama negotiated."

That is awesome.

I read the thread title and I have to be honest. I was completely lost. Clicked out of curiosity.

It's a foam and foil switch so it's got a linear feel. I'd say the pressure is between a mx black and a mx red. The keys have a very retro sounding clack. Some combination of the keycap and the switch shaking in it's track. It's a good sound.
