I am aware this may have been talked about before, but i felt it was worth of discussion regardless, i found this via the help of Sq-one one IRC, when i was originally looking at this board
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MicroSwitch-K ... 500wt_1180

VERY impressive build.

anyone got any experience with these switches and does anyone know if the keyboard i posted up could be converted to work with a modern pc and what switches it contains? where is it from too!?!

Is that you in the video?

I don't think those "microswitches" are in any way related but I'm not an expert.

COMPLETELY different things.

But I love Tim Tyler! A TRUE Geek! Not a HipsterGeek.

That ebay listing (as I have said on #deskthority) is actually for a Micro Switch (a division of Honeywell) rubber dome.

Reasoning: Metal backplate with what appear to be rivets instead of visible PCB. Mylar ribbons off the backside.

oh dear

and ah okay i see they are different now, regardless they are very interesting, thanks for being patient with me haha, still if anyone can show me a converter i may go for this board or a similar one in the near future.

and yeah Mintberry shoulda searched, but this post was half about that ebay board too.

As Raccoon said it looks like a RD and it is way to thin to be anything good micro switch made (hall effect switches).

Anything can be made to work with a modern computer, it actually doesn't look too hard on that thing (not that I know anything about it), just connect the matrix up to a teensy.

thanks will look into it and mull it over
