Found a guy locally that wants to sell the same keyboard as listed in the ebay link above. It seems it is a rubberdome but wanted to be sure before I told him I didn't want it. Don't want to really waste either of our time meeting up then discovering the keyboard is worthless.

The white colour between the keys is suspicious to me. It could still be a white-painted plate (like in the AT102W) and it could be some weird Podworld/KPT/Oriental Tech mechanical or semi-mechanical. I don't hold out a lot of hope.

Get him to pull a keycap and send you a photo -- easiest way to be sure.

I really don't hold much faith in him being able to as he can't take a decent pic butv maybe I'll ask anyways.

According to this thread it's a rubber dome.

Well he was able to pull a keycap. Like the thread at GH this appears to be RD but the keycaps are doubleshot and look like they are alps compatable? I will see if I can snatch it up for $5.00. Don't think I want to pay more than that.

Edit. I asked how much he wanted and he said he was going to donate it to Goodwill so I guess I get it for free? lol.

Won't be till next Friday though.

Interesting. The SIIG FunTouch is supposedly the same model. The SIIG MiniTouch is a Monterey keyboard, and a photo I found of the FunTouch shows what appear to be [wiki]Monterey dome with slider[/wiki] or similar, so the keycaps could be Alps compatible:

It does look like a simplified [wiki]Monterey K208[/wiki].
