Hello!Every one! I had received this phone-keyboard(is this name correctly?)from gogusrl.Here is the original link:for-sale-f55/rollermouse-2-microsoft-tr ... 16078.html
Sadly is its receiver and shell is broken when I got it.The courier process caused very bad damage...

But it doesn't matter, my focus is these switches.(cherry M8). I found it's model when I opened the keyboard.I am not interested in the keycap,So I do not know the craft it uses.By the way,My photographic technique is poor,I had try my best....I will try to create a wiki for it later.

Very nice, don't worry your pictures are fine. That old German federal post office sign reminds me of my childhood, thanks for sharing.

Thanks for sharing. I love Cherry M8. Such a fun little switch.

Myoth · 18 Jan 2018, 17:37

Wow ! so many different M8s ! Very cool looking board !

Daniel Beardsmore · 18 Jan 2018, 22:47

Wow. That is a LOT of new M8 switches!

Also, according to the M8 brochure, M8 series has:

"Different ways of operation: Linear, Tactile feedback, German Postal tactile feedback."

I am guessing that, being a German postal service keyboard, that these are all tactile switches?

A shame about the damage, here in Germany I might even find a replacement receiver like that. Good pictures.

kbdfr · 19 Jan 2018, 13:29

Could you "recompose" the receiver as well as possible and take pics under different angles?
We could then be able to find a replacement.

Wrong colour, but shape could fit:

How an old Deutsche Post keyboard ended up in China, damaged - it can usually be through the usual electronic waste and recycling route. Or were there some more interesting stories behind it?

I really want to ask this keyboard about its history.

I think UncleFan bought it from a DT member.

I can proxy if required.

Ouch... Deutsche Post keyboard damaged (perhaps) by Deutsche Post.

There can be a post (or there was already?) about how a keyboard should be packed in order to minimize damage during shipment.

There's at least a thread with a pathetic example of how not to:

Yeah, I've experienced some insanely bad packaging also, even here internally at DT which I won't go into detail.
