Finally got around to taking some beauty shots of my 'Advanced Logic Research' NMB RT101+ keyboard.
Like many other NMB keyboards, its built extremely well and its a joy to type on the Hi-Tek 'space Invader' switches.
I think these are also some of my favourite keycaps ever. Thick PBT with Coarse tops and glossy sides, Lovely!

Hi Tek 'Space Invader' - black clicky ones

NIce! I love mine- it seems to be a mid-transition board that has the newer style case, but the older, stepped keycaps as yours has. NMB really did make some amazing shit back in the day.

Imagine if this was the standard today..

VERY nice pictures.

Those outer steppings on Enter (even if BAE), RShift and RCtrl would have been a boon, if they still existed, on compact layouts (65% and 75%).

Right? The funny thing is, if you look at old catalogs and advertisements, NMB's keyboards were actually very low priced, and would be considered pretty damn cheap for the time; yet, they still have such quality.

Yeah I think I saw somewhere they cost nearly a 1/4 of a Model M new, and I'd argue that they're built better imo!
