A regular keyboard has about 104 keys. If you'll look at the small pile of 104 keys...

I say 7777

By the way... did you count them yourself yet, clickclack?^^

7777 (oooo, sounds evil huh? or perhaps stealthy)
I actually sent them to china to be counted =P
I just went by the number of boards they were taken from, and none of them happened to be from a 101 key.

Haahaaa :)
It's that long for two reasons-
first, I will hopefully have a better computer situation by that time. (that matters because this is a real pain to do with a computer that is crappin out every 2 seconds). Second I wanted to give ample time for people to guess, and that makes it more fun. (well...at least for me anyways :)

so lets see here...

ripster- 25,250
MsKeyboard- 1,001
InSanCen- 9,500 itty bitty caps
rdjack21- 4,048
Hak Foo- 2,744
lowpoly- 10,400
webwit- dirty laundry =P
xyzzy- 3,456.7 well the .7 is right at least =P
erricrice- 2,100
huha- 8,192 "nice" (we shall see)
skriefal- 8,585 and a low blow to huha and InSanCen! haahaa
kyamei- 6,250
TheSoulhunter-2,763 ! With Authority!!!
Bollwerk- 7777 ( looks special, we shall see if it is)

We have some passionate guessers here! haahaa
So lets keep em coming people, why? Well who wouldn't want a funny, cute, little, and silly thing that would make your fellow geekhackers jealous? =P

I need to be close to a certain number for one project, and for the other projects the numbers have yet to be determined


Is one the "How many keyboards can be piled on top of David Blaine before he is crushed" project? Where do I send mine to help out? :lol:

My guess is 13,337, because someone has to follow that tired old meme.

I just think it is going to take this long because he is still stuffing more keys in that bag so doesn't really know how many will end up in it yet.

I found some really nice double shot keycaps on this one board in my adventures in finding Wellington some clicky leafs.
yummy, lots of color :)
I wanna eat em!



Here are some rubber domes from my last meal! I mean last board deconstrucions. It's like swiss cheese but without the swiss, umm... or the cheese, and I guess w/o the holes. But it has bumps and dips, that's close right?

That makes a bit more sense than what I was initially thinking, which was they must belong to a gym.... ;)

Here is that missing pic I was looking for from that batch that was mostly mac related, and still in the boxes. (first keyboard pic in this thread) Its a pretty cool mix!

I know it's late to ask, but what's the second from the bottom row, first column?  its layout intrigues me.

No worries, I will do what I can :)
Off hand though I can't say, I will try and look it up tomorrow when I am working on the boards. It is indeed interesting, someone might beat me to identifying it. But I will do my best.
:)

EDIT:
ya know, that board looks really familiar atm, I think I just dismantled that one the other day...hmmm it might be going into a project right now. If that is indeed the case then I think it will be a week or so till I can get the specs for it. We shall see, I will keep my fingers crossed that I can find info on it :)

I think it was a keyboard that I have already appropriated to my projects. So it will be quite a while before I see what it was. Sorry, however.... bellow...

I might not have to look it up if this is correct. Thank you for jumping in :)

They are pretty darn nice that's for sure! I like them even more just knowing what they are. Funny how your mind plays tricks on your senses.

So I was taking apart this particular board and noticed that it had very interesting double shot keys and very simple stems. The keys were easy to pull off yet stable and well/solidly put together.

I also noticed the odd key shaft, a bit of a dramatic design doncha think? haahaa
Then I opened er up, and there were two curved metal plates! They sandwiched the independant key shaft housings, wicked overkill! (but really cool)
The rubber domes were small (hard to tell in the pictures) and were actually held in place not by adhesive but the were actually partially popped through the plastic sheet.
It was a really nice board to type on (for a rubber dome)
indulge-

Well I got more keyboards the other day (not including the ones pictured below, so I guess my sig will be changing again soon =)

So Here is a recent group of keyboards I received, and what did I see???
A MODEL M!!! YAY I was wondering when I would just happen to get one. I own 4 atm that are working, but I was still expecting to see one sooner or later since I see model F's here and there. There was also 3, yup 3, model F boards in there!!! They are of the XT variety and feel really good except one that is stiffer (similar to AT version)



This is a neato keyboard that I found amongst that last grouping (you can see it at the bottom of the 1st pic)
It is actually smaller than my wallet!!! Well that's not really a fair comparison, since my wallet is of silly epic proportions (unfortunately not due to an over abundance of cash).
The keyboard was decent, better than some full sized keyboards but the typing experienced varied considerably when put on different surfaces!



This pic is for Welly...  in all of its confusing glory =P

Djeez, where did you find all those F XT's?

I guess I'll have to dig in some dumpsters around here if I ever want to find a second one for free...

Also, if you are talking about stiffer, try some of the less frequently used keys and compare those. With a keyboard of the F's age, I wouldn't be surprised if most of the springs in the typing area are worn out.

I suppose I do :)
 (I do hate all this PST, PT, PDT, EST, EDT, ET it's all a PITA!)
The odd thing is if you say PT you avoid the PST and PDT thing because one is only refering to the local and not the particular observance.

MsKeyboard- 1,001
InSanCen- 9,500 itty bitty caps

What a riot!
I was curious what would be the first response after that, I was just about to give up and post the real winner. Luckily though you posted just in time! haahaa

I was actually hiding behind the model F boards so I was safe anyway ;)

I just based my guess on the number of keys in a bag containing several keyboards worth of keys when I was doing a batch cleaning a while back, surprised it came that close. Looks my brown cherry Filco will be getting a new esc key.  Thanks clickclack :D
