[Actually Rubber Dome] WYSE 901867

This looks like quite a lot of keyboard for the price. Probably worth the money for the caps and harvested switches - vintage blacks are supposed to be smoother than their modern counterparts.

EDIT: jdcarpe below suggests this is actually a dome board. :(

Looks like rubber domes to me. The switch mounting plate on a terminal keyboard with MX blacks would be black painted metal. And AFAIK, the terminal boards with double shots all have cursor arrows shaped like triangles.

I thought all the boards of this model were MX Black boards... thanks anyway.

The homing bumps of F and J instead of centered dots give it away, as well.

Disappointing, but interesting :)
