What’s the deal with this Omnikey 101? Made by LITE-ON?

I found something similar several years back.

Mine has a different case and badging. In addition to the Omnikey models Northgate also sold ...

XT layout, obvs, so presumably post 1981 and pre Model M. Where’s the cable, though? The pics aren’t great but all you can see is a hole on the back which looks too small to be a vintage socket.

I spent like 30 minutes yesterday looking for info on this thing and managed to find an old geekhack ...

How's this relevant

This post is actually older than it says, apparently when you bump the thread through the options menu the newest post time gets reset to whenever the bump was. I guess now in hindsight it makes sense but is still a ...

I managed to get a model F AT for 150 last week, not exactly cheap but pretty good for what prices are right now.


If you grabbed the one mislabeled as an XT, I want to see restoration pictures.

Here's a couple more still under $200

Sorry for the OT, am I the only one who noticed a drastic reduction of availabe model F and old cherry keyboards? I've found nothing at affordable prices (or nothing at all) in the last 18 months or so.

Looking for any TI boards with alps and Packard Bell (or its rebrands) KFCLEA916A with SKCL Browns. Would also be open to buying loose SKCL browns as well.

You're looking for SKCL Green then not SKCM. If someone were to send you an offer on an actual SKCM green board you would probably think the price was a typo.

is this ITW mag valve? cap profile is similar

I was the seller for this board lol I didn't realize it had never been documented before but I'm glad someone was able to appreciate it more than I did :)


Well I couldn't be happier, typing on it now, and I thank you profusely. It's rare that I get a keyboard I don't have to do anything to ...

Looking for an amber omron board, preferably with most of the switches working.

very interested in this, the 2 key rollover on the original is painful to use

"Sejin Futaba-mount dome keyboards can be clearly differentiated from Futaba clicky switch keyboards, as the former have only a sheet plastic moulding to support the sliders."

gotcha thanks for the reply

These switches which I assume are some kind of Futabas appear to be integrated into the plate, are these really Futaba MA or am I missing something here? The board that these are in is a Sejin Electron EAT-1010R2 which is only listed as ...

ah I forgot that this could come with many different sliders and just judged off the first pictures thanks for the clarification

Are these plate springs? I looked through the wiki and didn't see anything that had this exact look but plate spring was ...

If you still have a Topre board you could invest in some aftermarket domes like BKE or DES, I've heard that the heavier options feel similar to more tactile DWS boards. This will also address your issue with the n-key rollover since Topre is capacitive. Unfortunately, they aren't super cheap like ...

is this when production is ceasing?
