Hello there: This is my first post. I have arrived on the keyboard fanatism no so long ago.
I found on my house a keyboard i remembered i caught from a friends house. I cant find info about it. Can you help me? I know the model is a Fujitsu n860-2905-t004 with some colaboration with Sanyo?.
Thanks a lot for your time hopes you enjoy the keyboard and hopes i can get rid of its restoration because i have noticed there´s not cable on it so i will make some arduino fix to it.

One of the DT backgrounds is actually of those switches - it happened to be on while I was watching this topic xD . It's Fujitsu leaf spring as I recall - supposedly extremely smooth.

Yup, second generation Fujitsu leaf spring switches, with the characteristic tombstone key cap shape. These came in a linear and clicky variant and are on the Wiki.

Nice find jamma! It seems there are various Sanyo branded Fujitsu keyobards. Yours is an XT layout, probably form the late 1980s. Are your switches clicky? The click is very faint, almost not noticeable.

Tombstones? Do you mean the stepped keys? So are they characteristic of these Fujitsu leaf springs then?XMIT wrote: ↑Yup, second generation Fujitsu leaf spring switches, with the characteristic tombstone key cap shape. These came in a linear and clicky variant and are on the Wiki.

I meant how the bottom of the key (nearest to the typist) is squared, and the top of the key (furthest from the typist) is rounded.Chyros wrote: ↑Tombstones? Do you mean the stepped keys? So are they characteristic of these Fujitsu leaf springs then?
I was mistaken: this looks like a third generation board.

It is a third gen. Leaf Spring board imo. Third row from the top are Tombstone caps in my shots:

Thanks for all the replies they´re really usefull for me.
Seebart: they are no so clicky, i mean the sound isn´t really noticeable just a little bit.
I attach some photos from the keys. i broke some of the white pieces ( i don´t know they name), and i´m asking me if i will find them in some online market.
