That Acorn Electron is beautiful! I don't suppose the keycaps are Cherry-compatible, are they? Shame it's not working or else I'd get it regardless.

[ohaimark]

They can be hacked into Cherry compatibility.

1st one is a teensy convert with Oak Linears. 2nd is an unknown quantity that I didn't investigate deeply.

Looks like NMB Hi-Tek to me.

Case does, but caps look more alpsy.

Dished F+J+5, Chyros should be right, NMB RT101.

[Engicoder]

Still skeptical. I've never seen an NMB RT101+ without a stepped caps lock and the shift arrow symbol is wrong. The NMB shift symbol is tall and thin. This one is more IBM like.

Edit: Someone buy it an make me a fool

Someone buy it so we can find out.

A better picture from another auction, not that I can tell you what it is, or even if this is even the same?

Ah rubber dome. Mystery solved. I was too focused on Space Invaders.

Wow, you can even see the rubber sheet between the caps!

[Redmaus]

Yeah, but the main reason it made me laugh is because someone is basically asking 300$ for a speckled case

No. that's an Alps board, you can look it up in the wiki. What you see is the aluminium plate. The price is still ridiculous of course, but did I mention that Alps are hyped to the max at the moment?

Or Aristotle clones

[Halvar]

No Cherry logo in any case, so no Cherry.

[HzFaq]

Aristotles have a little slot at the front as well where Cherry switches would have a space for an LED.

I happen to own one of these. The typing experience is less than memorable, but of course that's highly subjective. Let me know if you have any questions I can answer.

[Ray]

You took that photo upside down, so that the keycap fell off the picture?

[klikkyklik]

The keyboard isn't upside down, that's how I normally type on it.

I've seen that before! Posted it either here or in the identify the keyboard thread a while ago, can't remember anything about it though, what switches it has etc.

I'd dig through the threads to try to find it, but... that's a lot of pages to sort through Maybe tomorrow when I'm not deathly tired.

BLUE ALPS

So tempting to bid on that. I need the switches for a custom alps board. Its just too expensive to ship.

It's Fujitsu Leaf Spring Generation 3. I checked the ID this KB thread.

Yeah looks like a Fujitsu Leaf Spring. Slighty expensive but nice looking, way nicer than mine.
