Fujitsu Leaf-Spring $40
« on: Thu, 31 December 2015, 10:08:41 »
I haven't confirmed inventory, but not a bad deal on a fairly rare and interesting switch:

Are you sure, Samir? People have mentioned a few Fujitsu FKB8725 series boards here and they were rubber domes.

That said, they're probably better than the dreaded Fujitsu Peerless switch!

I don't think those were the -501s though.  I did some digging before I posted this, but can't remember everywhere I went to find the info. :(

I’m going to guess either Peerless or rubber dome. But who knows.

I found one of these recently. Fujitsu dome with slider, same type as in Sun keyboards (see my Sun review for opinions).

Nice, Chyros—you're "using your dome" as usual.  :?)

Sorry to say that went right over my head xD .

But yeah, I saw it at the centre and remembered someone had posted about it here.

As usual, you are the man!  Thank you for correcting me on the type of switch.  :thumb:
