I'm trying to find more info on this board, i was looking at this thread here http://deskthority.net/photos-videos-f8 ... t3707.html

And someone posted this ebay sell, http://www.ebay.de/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll ... 1243wt_159
And this keyboard looks a lot to one i loved as a kid and went accidently to the trasher, so i would like to know more about it.

regards,

Try to ask the seller for more photos/information.

DT has a wiki on the switch: http://deskthority.net/wiki/Monterey_switch

Yep i already did, but i don't know if ill get an answer. Still i can't remember if the one i had as a kid actually had montereys blue sliders...

I never took off the key caps to look at the sliders when I was a kid ...

The Monterey K208 is a rubber dome keyboard. It is mushy and silent, just like other rubber dome keyboards. I once bought one, thinking that it was a K108 ... and was a bit disappointed, although I had paid only 1 Euro + shipping for it.
The K108 and K208 are very much alike. I believe this one is a K208, but I am not sure. It is best to ask the seller for the model number and/or FCC ID.

Thanks Findecanor, is there any more variants of these? like different switch, type, etc...i managed to identify the looks by that bar pattern on the top right of the keyboard and the logo frame on the left side. it really seems identical...

The K108 doesn't have that weird molding in the case near the LEDs. Ascaii has one he's trying to sell..

Really? mine had that molding and it was clicky but i can't remeber the switches, i've yet to test a monterey now that i know what it is

I think that I have seen pictures of keyboards that had that detail, but with a different brand. I can't remember which, though, sorry.

ok, if by chance you remember give a call

My K108 doesn't have that grill.

interesting, so it might have been a different keyboard after all.

Actually, given the age of the board it is still very bouncy compared to my Microsoft digital media keyboard. It is not too bad to type on, it's just not "clicky".

I remember it had that logo frame on the left and it had the grill above the right side too and it was clicky.
