Honeywell 5921 Keyboard with Non-FTM Oak Switches
« on: Thu, 27 September 2018, 01:30:00 »
This is a bit of a cross post, but I'm curious about the switches in this board.


Board pre-cleanup:
204402-0           204404-1

I cleaned up and converted the board to USB with a Teensy and didn't want to risk damaging a switch by desoldering one so the pics aren't so great:

204406-2          204408-3         

204410-4          204650-5           204412-6       

204414-7          204416-8


Teensy and cleaned up case,  retrobrited keys and typing video:

204400-9       204398-10






The switches are linear (except the LOCK key which is latching), non-clicky and fairly smooth - not bad.  Does anyone know more about them?
