Hi everyone, I'm back from holiday!

This week, something a bit more exotic (and very, very clicky); an undocumented variation of KB-5161 with amber Omrons. Hope you enjoy it! :)

Good work as usual. Glad to see all my thoughts regarding amber Omrons pretty much being verified by you. Loud as hell, not very reliable and quite simply odd. I've had switches malfunction sporadically on my Wang 725-7951. Still a fun switch to try. Not my favorite though.

@Chyros: Excellent and interesting review. You have a deep melliferous voice that is pleasant to the ear. It may be worth noting that the decibel scale of loudness is logarithmic, so that the differences in sound pressure are greater than one might infer from the numbers if they were thought to be on a linear scale. Those amber Omrons are loud indeed!

Yeah I know, that's why the Omron clicker is 3 (compared to Model M) to 5 (compared to Alps) times as loud! :D

Hey Thomas, I think this was your best work to date. You had me laughing out loud in several spots. Loved the quirky interspersing of the keys being hit. Keep up the great work, and enjoy that keyboard!

Cool, glad you liked it! :) Yeah I thought I'd lighten up the video with some random typing here and there xD .
