Seems to be similar to this http://deskthority.net/photos-f62/robot ... t7967.html

Not sure if it's great or interesting but it looks pretty cool:

Sure looks like a beam spring to me. Shame the seller only wants to ship to Germany.

How is that even possible ???

I love the compact size of this board but i already bought an expensive one this month...

Madhias · 24 Nov 2014, 09:56

10 bids on the beam spring right now, € 86, six days to go! We could guess what the price in the end will be

Nuum · 24 Nov 2014, 10:08

Damn you, Bitsquid, I was watching that Beamspring (at least I believe it's one).

Now It's going to be really expensive. I've seen e***r on a few other auctions I was bidding on, I believe he is also a community member.

The legends are really weird, it's a mix of French, German and British layouts.

Halvar · 24 Nov 2014, 10:33

The assessment "probably never used, the cable wasn't even built in" in the description is such a bad joke. Also, I have never seen corrosion like that on the bottom plate, even from our "seller of rust". Could the key caps be frankensteined? I don't think that layout ever existed.

seebart · 24 Nov 2014, 13:26

it´s a strange one, that´s for sure. Are you guys sure it´s even a beamspring?

Nuum · 24 Nov 2014, 13:29

It looks like one, same style keycaps and housing. And even if it isn't a beam spring it is an interesting keyboard.

macmakkara · 24 Nov 2014, 13:30

Hmm... But can't see contamination shield between caps.

Nuum · 24 Nov 2014, 13:34

Here is a similar one that is definitely a beam spring: http://deskthority.net/workshop-f7/beam ... ml#p118074

The missing contamination shield is indeed a bit strange, but maybe IBM didn't put it in every single variant. The GRDSTG and DAT FREIG keycaps seem to be higher as usual, too, and the keycaps seem to be not profiled but instead uniform profile like DSA.

Here is one, too, from this thread.

Muirium · 24 Nov 2014, 14:21

Oh boy, I bet that little thing goes for a good price! It's the beamspring equivalent of the Kishsaver!

Always good to have some extra takers after 100%, in case of dropouts.

Edit: Down to 11 now. Deskpame will be pleased.

noobie94 · 24 Nov 2014, 14:34

Sorry! I was only interested but I don't want it actually.

HzFaq · 24 Nov 2014, 14:52

So whats the play here Mu? Stick a snipe on for £x and then split it by 10? What are we putting as a max bid?

Nuum · 24 Nov 2014, 14:56

That's what I would do, maybe Mu should open an extra thread for that. Like last time with the Nixdorf PCBs everyone should state their max bid for one via PM and the sum of that is the max bid for all of them.

Ichigo87 · 24 Nov 2014, 14:59

I am in for one Muirium if somebody else withdraw.

Muirium · 24 Nov 2014, 15:01

Aye, another for the list!

@HzFaq: Sounds reasonable. I'll write up a thread for it when I'm back home. I'm aiming low for these, myself. And I hope our bid is the only one.

The main costs for all of us will be outbound shipping instead. I'll investigate that as well.

HzFaq · 24 Nov 2014, 15:02

Ledge, cheers mate.

Could this be a mechanical keypad? It looks interesting to me...

Halvar · 24 Nov 2014, 20:27

I think it's rubber dome. If if was mechanical, you should see either a PCB or a metal plate between the keys, but it looks like plastic the same color as the case. Nice dolchy color though.

Or some foam damping, at least this one sports that.

I think thats just a “stem extension“ to make the caps work on a rubberdome, no clue what the proper term would be tho.

Muirium · 25 Nov 2014, 00:34

Yeah, my guess is it's still simply a "slider". But the switch is rubber dome over membrane, instead of a discrete mechanical.

Still, Alps mount caps are better than most rubber dome sad stories.
