Is that a membrane underneath? If so, it's probably some kind of dome with slider switch. Looks like the caps are Alps compatible though.

that might be a membrane... it doesn't look tall enough to be a mechanical switch, I think. Anyhow, if you want to hunt more: https://www.google.com/search?q=Клавиатура+Пэвм+Омега

I didn't find much beside these pics.

Cheers mate, membrane it is probably, then .

Honestly, it looks like a clear plastic plate over a membrane, with rubber domes held in place by the clear plate... At least that's certainly what it looks like to me. Not mechanical.

Quite right. I haven't seen many old membrane keyboards besides the IBM ones I used to use...

With what appears to be covered version of cherry M8.

More photos here, so I don't take up much space

Rare to see this M8 covered version. I have two keyboard with this variants but not like your keyboard.
Could you tell me what your model?
It has 5DIN connector, XT or AT?

Well, hello there
Don't think it's AT, since it just lights up and blocks everything else when I connect it.

For this suitation, it should be XT.
Could you tell me what name is that keyboard?

And who know what switch of the alphasmart pro keyboard? It seems like has a latching lock.

It looks like B80-3766 from [wiki]Cherry catalogues[/wiki], but I can't be sure. The sticker is illegible to me, or at least doesn't refer to anything I know of.

Here are more photos of what's inside.

CHYRON VIDEO PRODUCTS VP2



it looks like it's a keyboard for a video editor, it kinda looks cool but i dont know anything about it.

Do you guys have any idea what switches it has?

Damn, that keyboard almost has my name on it Oo . Strongly suspect it's Key Tronic foam and foil.

I like it, apart from the slight yellowing. Lot's of stepped keys on that one, typical XT. Love the logo on the right.

No idea. Ask him take the back case to show the label if possible.

This keyboard is strange too. First to see the made in India keyboard. The seller said that is mechanical.

the label doesnt exist... about that tvs, i know that theres still tvs keyboard in production, the new ones are mechanical but not sure about that old one...

As a rule of thumb, "101" without anything after it means rubber dome. That isn't true in all cases, but it isn't worth a big risk.

See if a keycap can be pulled. Otherwise I wouldn't pay more than $15 for it -- it's a gamble.

Look at the pad printing keycap style with this XT and AT convert layout.
As my experience, your keyboard should be Made in Taiwan or China ALPS clone of mechanical keyboard.
They always belong to Taiwan unknown alps clone(copy of alps switch).
Other possible switches are Omron B3G-S(not Japan labeled), Futaba clicky switch, SMK vintage linear clone switches or Cherry MX switch.

Almost certainly rubber dome.

What kind of keyboard is this? It was used in the Electronic Data Command Center of AIRWOLF Season 4.

Initially I suspected it was a keyboard control for a Yamaha synthesizer. But better pictures show "TR*****ASE 221 downlink VID mod**"

The number 3120 appears at the upper left of the keyboard.

The number 727 appears to upper right of the keyboard.

Could this have been a news or movie production keyboard to edit VHS tapes around 1986?

I have searched to no avail. Hopefully you guys can help me solve this mystery.

Thanks!

Any ideas?

I have searched everywhere I can think of to find this.

I figure if anyone can figure out what type of keyboard this is it is you guys!

s. The orthogonal layout and the alphabetic order of the keys struck me as odd too.

It was filmed in Canada by Atlantis in 1986-87 if that offers any clues.

Can you see that the keys are really pressed down? Maybe it's just a fake board...

The fact they purposely blacked out part of the name leads me to think this was a real keyboard.

"TR*****ASE 221 downlink VID mod**"

The number 3120 appears at the upper left of the keyboard.

The number 727 appears to upper right of the keyboard.

Initially I thought it might have been a 1980's synthesizer keyboard, but with better pics I am leaning more toward a title graphics computer keyboard.

From the looks of the top I would have guessed this simply was a hebrew IBM model F AT. But the bottom looks weird.
