I came across a Packard Bell SK-2100W and I was wondering what kind of rubber domes it uses? I've known most Packards to have either BTC f+m or dome with slider (which is what I'm hoping for), but I've not found much about this particular model, and it looks pretty much identical to the 5131c.

The picture of an SK-2100W in this thread suggests to me that is uses Fujitsu rubber dome with Alps slider.

How would those compare to the BTC dome with sliders?Bjerrk wrote: ↑26 Mar 2021, 15:39The picture of an SK-2100W in this thread suggests to me that is uses Fujitsu rubber dome with Alps slider.

Does anyone know if these (SK-2100W's) were these made by BTC, or is the design something that Packard Bell came up with and the manufacturers used their own tech in PB's external case design?

I got one by "mistake" - bought an old keyboard cheaply without doing my research properly. Was expecting Fujitsu Peerless.
In any case, the Fujitsu domes with sliders are pretty bad.

Hmm, did you take a look at the SK-2100W photo I linked earlier? That looks like Fujitsu rather than Silitek, doesn't it?
I of course agree wrt the FCC ID, but the photo convinced me that the model does at least come with Fujitsus.

Notice the model number of the one keyboard that the wiki page lists as having that switch. It's another Silitek board. I would suspect the Fujitsu naming is a mistaken assumption based on the first board it was observed in.Hmm, did you take a look at the SK-2100W photo I linked earlier?
