This one was an oddball, I actually got from a seller that saved it from the recycle in missouri!
It's a kpt-102 with kpt switches. I was actually surprised at how decent the switches felt but they are still wildly inconsistent compared to something alps based.

I managed to get a lot of 8 keyboards, 3 of which had space invaders clicky switchies, 2 others were NMB rubber dome. All 3 space invaders boards had their cables cut, but the rubber dome ones didn't, I was able to repair at least 2 of the 3 by transplanting the cables from the rubber dome ones. Got ...

... Oh wait

x3 That's part of the reason I started just posting stuff I found, at least it's written down somewhere!

I recently got a toshiba t1200 that was local, turns out they can have SKFL switches as well:

I also have this Ortek MCK-201. I ended up replacing all the switches with mathias clickies that I had on hand (they were older simplfied alps clones). We'll see how they hold up. Been using at a desktop for a bit but might cycle it out, I really don't want to wear off the legends cause they're so ...

can confirm that It's happening to me as well, logged in the wiki returns a 500 error but I logged out and it loaded. Easiest thing I could think of is just maybe opening the wiki in another browser but I still would like to contribute with photos and stuff. hmm hmm


It's definitely having ...

Neat collection. I remember seeing some IBM keyboards with arabic legends on eBay in the past. Here is my only board with arabic legend board in my collection.

Oh! I love it, The font looks a just like the one used on the acer keyboard! what kind of switches does ...

Unable to help myself I have started collecting some old keyboards with arabic legend keycaps I find on the internet. I made a thread recently on bluesky but i've always wanted to share here so I'm gonna repost and share some photos! Most of the keyboards were in decent physical condition but poor ...

I came across a bondwell model 2 which appears to have full size SKCL Green alps, I don't know much about early laptops. It makes me wonder what other old models have interesting full size switches. I know about the b310s b/c chyrosan video, I think the Pc convertible has brown alps and the ...

I finally got to try out some blue alps, and though they were far from pristine within a few seconds i was just like oh... I get it now.

Hi! I like scouring the net for old keyboards and sometimes i find stuff that isn't recorded in the wiki and wanted to post about it!

Today I found a Laser VTCL 2269-0, which is usually listed to have SMK 2nd gen cherry mount switches but thankfully they had a keyswitch off style photo and it ...
