Focus FK-8000 calculator keyboard NIB, $45+shipping OBO

I suspect this is the MX-mount Futaba switch variant (my suspicion is that’s what the F/S/A checkmarks are for on the outside of the box). But it might also be white Alps clones.

Someone could probably push the seller below $45 with the right offer.

Got it down to $35 + shipping. The switches are MX-mount futaba, the lock keys are yellow ALPS

What do those Futabas feel like? Do they have a snappy tactile point halfway (or 3/4 of the way) down, as some are reported to have, or do they feel like typing on wet cardboard, like the Futaba keyboard I have?

Really nice tacitile feel. Didn't know how much I would like it but they've turned out to be some of my favorite setiches. And I didn't notice it before, I knew something felt different, but yeah the bump feels lower down than normal, but definitely snappier than MX clears

Does it have an AT mode?
Please consider carefully before you decide to comment, for Jesus.
