^ Model M with dip switches!?


That appears to be an XT/AT switchable model M, if some of my other XT/AT keyboards are anything to go by. Too bad that ...

Really interesting industrial keyboard, black Allen Bradley one.

Looks like an ... alps maybe? The LEDs in the numlock/caps lock/scroll lock keycaps caught my eye though.

So I assume the neon greens are a stiffer version of the KPT ambers? You should update the wiki.
Not entirely sure, they seem fairly similar just from typing on them.
Will have to measure them at some point to see the differences.

I'll probably add them to the wiki at some point... still need to ...

I hope off brands are OK too :P
Russian keyboard with a ... large variety of Alps.TW switches.

alps.tw is a person. I am not aware that he ever classified that type of switch. They're on the wiki under [wiki]KPT-like switch[/wiki] as "O" series pending a better name.

I have a bunch of them from ...

I found this keyboard randomly on eBay, marked as "AT Russian keyboard, working" or some such. I got it because of the interesting switches, which you can see below in this album.

Interesting for sure. There's a variety of about 4 different versions of the yellow switch on ...

This is most likely the antithesis of a "great" find but it sure is 'interesting'...and when I say interesting I mean hilarious.

Also my Mitsume Mechanical alps mount AEK II. My adapter show up in a few days for it (hopefully)

Thats what I did and the coin stacking which usually works fairly well for MX and alps, is hit or miss with these because of the odd tactility means i couldn't really tell where the weighting was for sure. Definitely is somewhere in the 55-70g range.
Yellows are a bit different but similar weighting ...

Yellow switches for caps lock and tab — are those likely to be the result of repairs, or does it appear to have been made that way?

From the spring on the space bar switch it seems like Mitsumi didn't offer a heavier weight switch, but then I have to wonder just what is the difference between ...

More pics for those interested.

Hmm. Another somewhat? interesting find, the keyboard is Allen Bradley branded. Looks like its either AT or XT.

That seems extremely expensive for an SKCC board even without shipping. Pingmasters are a fraction of that, and those are NIB Oo .

That said, cool caps though :D .

Just was browsing the industrial electronics part of eBay, some strange keyboards in that section... Most are interesting (whether ...

An Alps keyboard that seems interesting, if a bit expensive.

The only real issues ive noticed is that the "D" and "Caps Lock" keys seem to magically press themselves randomly. Seems to be a short or something. Will have to take the board apart to see what's up. Other than that they are pretty nice switches and everything.
Definitely and interesting add to my ...

Its tactile, rather odd tactility however. The bump is at the very beginning of the switch actuation so is... Interesting. Can almost be mistaken for linear switches.
The keyboard itself is rather well made, seems to be a lot better than the yellow mini mitsumi keyboard that Chyrosan did a review on ...

Not entirely sure where to post this but thought this was fairly close for adding to wiki possibly?
Some pics:






It's a Unitek K151L.
