Need help ID this keyboard

[newbierhyme]

Good day everyone , I found this keeb yesterday, there is a model name at the back (Philips "P 2815" made in Germany ), but when I try searching it in google, it doesn't show any records or whatsoever. Thank you in advance!

Woah, that's a beauty! Could you post a photo with a keycap removed? I've got a strong feeling I know which switch is in there, but it'd be cool to know for sure.

And well done on figuring out how to make it work. I'm guessing it's just regular DIN5 AT interface?

Keycap shape reminds me of FLS. Does it come with a variation of those, or maybe F-peerless?

I almost get a similar one off ebay, seller also located at Germany so I'm guessing they're same thing.

Iirc its kinda of rubber dome, ignore me im wrong.

I think so as well, I think balloon had one of these and I also remember it being rubber domes, unfortunately so. I love how it looks, it's truly a shame it's nothing interesting

Yes it's rubber dome! not really sure what kind, But the sound and feel is what i like about this keeb.. so rubberdome is not that interesting because of Linus says in his video?

This is what it looks now.. what do you think the age of this keeb? I have fun testing it on " Typing test" sorry for trying to retrobright it, this is the best I can do, ( my first time by the way

Tried soldering it.. but no luck, Finally I just got lucky to find an available AT/DIN5 converter in the market:)

Forgive me for asking. I don't know what FLS and F-peerless is, may I know these things? Thank you!

Sorry!

Both are types of switches once produced by Fujitsu.

FLS stands for Fujitsu Leaf Spring. Read more about that here wiki/Fujitsu_Leaf_Spring. You'll also find an entry about Fujitsu peerless there (the F in peerless stands for Fujitsu once again)

You should open it up and show the circuit board, it might have branding or model numbers

I do agree that if you want to determine the date the keyboard was made, you're going to have to open the case. Popular places to stamp the date are on the top or bottom case and on either the front or back of the PCB. I'm going to guess mid-1980s.
