Packard Bell 5130 domes with sliders?
« on: Tue, 01 November 2016, 17:12:41 »
Quick question: does the Packard Bell 5130 use domes with sliders on pcb? I'm looking for one so I might buy it.
And I can't find any info on the internet.

Thanks.

I can find a few images of it on Google Image Search. ;)

It looks like a dome-with-slider keyboard from BTC. I suppose that BTC's model number could be BTC 5130.
The BTC 5139 is definitely dome with sliders on PCB, as is the BTC 5140, and Packard Bell has been using other OEM keyboards from BTC. I can't tell for certain but I would say that it is likely that it is dome/slider/PCB

I have got a couple of BTC 5140's. The BTC slider/domes over PCB feel quite nice, as rubber domes go. The keycaps  are largely Cherry MX-compatible and practically in the same shapes as Signature Plastics' DCS profile. The stabilized keys are different though.

Packard Bell 5131C (ISO hungarian layout):


PCB and the rubber mats:


Top cover with some sliders:


Bottom metal plate with some minor parts:


(I actually used these thin, almost Cherry profiled ABS keycaps on a Cherry MX-Board 2.0, that's why the spacebar has extra MX mounts glued in it. ;D)

As I know, Packard Bell 5130C is the same keyboard, but it has ANSI US layout.
