I'm sure you all love this sort of thing.
I pulled these off an old keyboard a number of years ago to use them for some sort of project i believe. All i have are the caps and now i want to know where they came from! I'm fairly certain they are from an old Compaq board but i would like to know for sure.
Thanks for the insight!

Close, but no cigar i'm afraid.
If i remember right, it looked a lot like a model m. Big, grey led cover above the num pad, big red COMPAQ logo above that, and the keys were really hard to press. As a kid, i hated it. But now with my new found hobby i wish i would of saved it haha.
Anyways, thanks for looking dood.

I am pretty sure that it is from a Key Tronic keyboard. I have a really old, worn KT1000 in black, and the shape of the plunger and the font match exactly to your pictures. The wall of the key cap is a little bit different, though.
This is the flat variety, not the one with curved backplane -- that one has very high key caps.
I don't know if Key Tronic ever OEM:d any rubber dome keyboard to Compaq. A quick googling reveals that they have build several types of foam-and-foil keyboard for Compaq, and that would make it more probable.

Can you post pictures of your keyboard? Nothing special, i would just like to see if it compares to the image i have in my head of what this keyboard looked like. I'm about 80% sure the board i owned had a curved backplate. Like i said earlier, the shape was not unlike a model m.

It's from a rubber dome keyboard. I've pulled caps like this off of many but I don't recall what model it was since I move on as soon as I see it's not mechanical. Keytronic sounds right and could have been OEM'd for Compaq.
