If you're thinking Peerless; it's not that. IIRC it's a Key Tronic rubber dome board.stratokaster wrote: ↑Rubberdome with integrated LEDs? Must be Fujitsu-made.

By the way, forgot to post the make/model for the hp-keyboard:
HP C3753A C7353-60201
or
HP C3757B C3757-60401
Can anyone tell, what the difference between these two is?

What kind of keyswitch does this keyboard use?

The domes look interesting. Very Topre-ish.

No spring though. Looks more like video game controllers of the time, break open an NES controller you'll see
Posted: 03 Dec 2015, 03:20
The spring doesn't change the feel of a topre dome. The spring is only there for the sensing mechanism, and I recall that its bottoming-out force is only 5 grams. It doesn't change the feel much at all.
However, yes, it does look like a standard conductive rubber dome (given the fact that it's grey and not translucent), but it's actually a membrane dome. I've only seen these kinds of domes on various boards like the Microsoft Internet Keyboard.

I see in the pic you have a Lexmark branded Model M 1398601! I have one as well, kinda rare.

What switch type is this? Seems to be two springs there, one outer and one inner?

Rare to see it. Seems like the early variants of this alps half mechanical membrane keyboard.

Interesting numpad layout. first time I see that variation.
Posted: 08 Dec 2015, 22:42
I plan to give it a clean at some stage, possibly tonight, so can/should be able to provide some more 'serial' numbers from the PCB 
Posted: 08 Dec 2015, 22:52
It's a Cherry G80-05XX might just be a 0528 with a Honeywell Sticker. Edit: Nvm the last part, didnt notice the backside.
Posted: 09 Dec 2015, 00:23
Thanks for the info, I'm guessing this will become apparent when I take a look a the PCB itself?guk wrote: ↑It's a Cherry G80-05XX might just be a 0528 with a Honeywell Sticker. Edit: Nvm the last part, didnt notice the backside.

Yup, it should. Please provide pics when you do!

Hehe, the Siemens? (direct competitor with Honeywell
)Are they the same model number? (as seen in the rear photo)
Posted: 09 Dec 2015, 00:41
Did you swap the keycaps on those? Just wondering why the keycaps on the Nixdorf look more yellowed than the ones on the Siemens while the case looks less yellowed than the Siemens.ramnes wrote: ↑Yeah, I know that keyboard... http://deskthority.net/for-sale-f55/3x- ... ml#p270051
If there's a pic of label which would render my question obsolete, I didn't find it!

Both of mines have exactly the same layout that yours. Yours' case color looks exactly like my Siemens one, which model number is 3299-N464-V001. But I guess this model number is particular to Nixdorf, just like your picture shows Honeywell numbering I think. Though, I'm pretty sure that our PCBs have very close PNs.Glenmael wrote: ↑Hehe, the Siemens? (direct competitor with Honeywell

Nop, I didn't swap anything, everything is original. I think the keycaps don't have the same color from the beginning.guk wrote: ↑Did you swap the keycaps on those?

It seems to me that the Nixdorf-Computer caps are made of a darker beige, which indeed look yellowed but which aren't. Just like Goupil keycaps.

That makes sense, thanks for the clarification! Surprised that one still hasn't been sold.ramnes wrote: ↑

Thanks ramnes, I'll check the P/N
I'm guessing these would then be worth around the same as the Siemens?
(don't think I'd be parting with mine regardless)

Cleaning keyboards is tough!
- Manufactured on 10/05/88 (timestamp on the housing)
- Cherry PCB model number G80-0689H/1B
- The base and the top are different shades of 'grey'

Man... I used to have a ColecoVision ADAM system. I got it free, when I was a kid, and only had to fix it. came with plenty of games. My youngest brother fed it mashed potatoes... twice... First time, I got it cleaned out... Second time, it was really ded. The keyboard was something I had planned to salvage but a "friend" who had shown an "interest" in electronics, just decided to tear it apart, destructively, without asking. He was more interested in breaking stuff. I don't miss grade school. Oh well... You can't win 'em all. At least college was great though!

What is?? It looks mechanical (you can see what looks like switches poking out of the bottom of the keycaps).

Any idea what switch this is?
