November's guess the keyboard thread.

I smell keytronic.

[fossala]

What switches?

[bhtooefr]

I'm going to take a longshot and guess it's an Alps (because of the lit caps and num lock) point of sale keyboard. (Alps made their own pointing stick, after all.)

[hoggy]

Sorry, it's not Keytronic. It has Cherry black switches.

[fossala]

I want the board, anymore from where you got it?

[Shinryuu]

Interesting, I didn't know other manufacturers used mouse like IBM/Lenovo in keyboards

Sorry, doesn't look like it. Had a quick search on ebay.com - couldn't find any.

[Trent]

Tipro?

[hoggy]

Sorry, not Tipro.

[CeeSA]

Access?

[tinnie]

tg3 or dsi boards

[hoggy]

Sorry, not Access, TG3 or DSI...

[damorgue]

I belive I see the letters 'ation' or 'ntion' in greenish or blue right by your thumb. There are also some tall lettters at the end, perhaps a roman number or a signal logo á la cisco. Could be that the full word is communication or generation II?

Interesting placement of the mouse buttons, key caps with a large cutout for the mouse knob ought to make it fairly unique and identifiable.

[hoggy]

Okay - the word is 'international'

[IvanIvanovich]

KSI-1293, it have MX black.

[webwit]

We've got a winner!

[hoggy]

Not that webwit's word is in doubt, but we do have winner! Well done lysol!

[hoggy]

A big thank you to webwit for his restraint in not answering these quizzes straight away.

[webwit]

I didn't know this one except I guessed right it was a POS. Just googled KSI-1293.

[IvanIvanovich]

so what do I win?

[bhtooefr]

So, whose pointing stick mechanism did they use?

[hoggy]

so what do I win?

Kudos!

[bhtooefr]

So when are you going to send lysol some granola bars?

[hoggy]

By the look of the photo, I don't think lysol is ready for granola bars just yet...

[hoggy]

Here's a view of the side - it's pretty tall.


A better image of the trackpoint.

[ohaimark]

Just got one of these NIB.
