Worth £2 and what switch?
« on: Sat, 22 November 2014, 10:21:27 »
Just bought this for £2 at a bazaar. Has a click to it like MX Blue and PS/2 connection. What kind of switch is it?

Also, the thing I thought was PS/2 is too big. It has 6 line. Is it din or something. Like XLR, but with 6.

Yep, just a 5-pin DIN. You only need a passive converter to PS2 so you should be able to find one for a few dollars

They are doubleshots and they look in decent shape. Nice find.

Yeah, I'd say that that's worth what you paid for it. You can certainly use it, but if you don't want to, those keycaps are pretty good quality.

Those are MX-compatible futaba switches.

Close, but these are actually SMK switches.. Nice find op - a lot of people prefer these switches to Cherry blues, say.
