IT'S GIVEAWAY TIME

Welcome one and all...to a spooky giveaway...
This giveaway will run fairly similarly to my last one. ~~Anyone can enter until Midnight on Halloween Eve (October 30)....if they dare...~~.

There will be 3 prizes to give out, to three different ghouls and goblins. You can win the first two by testing your knowledge and your might. The last one you can only win if you wish to enter a different realm.

HOW TO PLAY

THE KEYBOARD UNDERLORD DEMANDS KEYBOARD GORE POSTS

MAKE YOUR KEYBOARD DIRTY; Unicorn Vomit EXCLUDED; dirt, food, anything gross counts
Non-user timestamped online photos will work, BUT photos with your timestamp that qualify as GORE will earn DOUBLE POINTS into the randomizer
For those who do not know, a timestamp includes: a note/piece of paper with your username, and the date the photo was taken

FIRST AND SECOND PRIZES winners: ansario, nubbinator

More

In a past life, I was a mere mortal slaving away for THE PIG. Whilst slaving away I encountered a special keyboard. What was the name of this keyboard?

You must guess the EXACT name of the keyboard to win, part numbers included IF applicable
Posting an image of the board is not required but may be helpful to other mortals
You get one guess per day, please do not break this rule or you will be banished
I will provide a hint to all of you silly pleebs HERE in the OP once per day.

First hint - 10/26: This is a keyboard I DO NOT or have EVER OWNED...the key may be in this answer
Second hint - 10/27: Travel back to the days of white and beige...the key may be in this answer.
Third hint - 10/28: THE PIG has significant meaning. Take my location into account. It might help narrow down your selection...the key may be in this answer.

UP FOR GRABS TO ANY EARTH-MONGERING MORTAL:

TRICK OR TREAT...

First Prize: TRICK OR TREAT - YOUR POOR CHOICE OF ~~HORROR~~ STEM (MX/Topre/BS)

Second Prize: TRICK OR TREAT- FORCED UPON MX

Remaining Prize: TRICK OR TREAT - YOUR POOR CHOICE OF MX or Topre

Anything could be in these bags. It could be sweet treats. Or it could be nothing but tricks!!!

HAVE FUN, AND BE SAFE

Guess: IBM 5140, but I'm not entering

I wish I still had my friend's roommate's board. It was so grimey when he gave it to me to fix after spilling coke on it. Coke + 3 years of no cleaning is a bad idea.

I did not make mechanical a requirement

Both guesses so far are incorrect. One is closer than the other though

nubbinator · « **Reply #6 on:** Mon, 26 October 2015, 14:45:11 »

I'm going super over reading into the clue and saying the IBM Model F122 (Model 611034x) because of the F key and F22 and F12 keys (get it, keys on the board are in the answered name)

New hint posted...you can post new guesses

Some guesses are closer than others, most are quite wrong though.

If no one posts keyboard gore I will just make it a guessing game.

"EXACT name of the keyboard" you should at least take the time to read the rules, you already have 100 posts, no need to rush it

You were doing so well without mentioning your Novatouch...and now we're back again

Also, all guesses still wrong, but one user is VERY close.

Mini hint: google is your friend. try googling certain phrases I have used.

Dell L100
Only reason I guess that is because the Dell L100 is what every school and office I've ever been in uses, and they are garbage.

edit: oh, white and beige? well it must've been pre 2000s when the Dell keyboards took over.

A couple of you are getting warmer, but are mostly still wrong. I think only one user has come close to deducing the main clue (the same user with the extremely close guess), so I posted another hint that may help.

I am also changing the contest end date to 12:00 Midnight EST on 10/29 (00:00 EST 12/30), in order for me to get prizes out quicker.

Damn I was almost certain i got it right...

nubbinator · « **Reply #49 on:** Wed, 28 October 2015, 11:10:55 »

I'm guessing an IBM 4683 or similar POS keyboard

Beige and White, has a key, and use by grocery stores like Piggly Wiggly (the pig).
