I was really surprised by how smooth RAFI RS 76 C is, especially because the mechanical counterpart RS 76M is rather scratchy, even in NOS condition.

There are some RAFI ps2 hall effect boards such as this: photos-f62/rafi-b6-c-keyboard-t13636.html

I think this is likely to be a Mitsumi board. Does that seem right?

Yea looks like a Mitsumi KPQ-E99YC variation

Got this Olympia People Computer Keyboard on ebay.de recently. I have wanted to try Fujtsu leafspring for a while to see whether they'd live up to the hype. Seebart has made a showcase of the keyboard here , so I'll mainly focus on the conversion and my opinions about the switches here. 20180628_131...

I'm not completely sure, but it looks like micro switch ST. Compare to this.

I bought one of these today along with the accompanying computer&terminal in supposedly working condition, will post pics when I picked it up.

How much is a desoldered G80-2551HAD worth? It's in great condition, just has a little dent on the backside of the case (guess it's from the previous owner).

Wow people you are so smart, so many new and interesting things I just learned, thanks for the comments, I think I will just clean it and keep it as it is then. How were these types of keyboards connected to a PC? Does it use some special connector, or is it only for special computers? These come f...

These don't use a normal conductive matrix, but instead hall effect sensors, which need to be powered and have 2 output pins. Furthermore some of these micro switch switches are unable to detect held keys, because they only emit a pulse upon activation. Read this for further information: https://des...

I second this. Feel is ok but still quite clunky if pressed dead center, but the binding on offcenter is unlike anything else I have ever tried

Hey. Paid 450€ for the lot, shipped. Was disappointed in some of the boards: old case Acer has Acer, not ALPS switches - should have researched better beforehand Chicony has Futaba clicky, of which I have a box full already Entec turned out to be some spring over slider rather than ALPS - again, sh...

Looks like the keyboard of a TI professional computer, this version should have Alps SKCM brown.

Appears to have a membrane, so I guess it's 4th generation leaf spring. Should be possible to get working on USB if you trace the matrix and create a replacement controller (using a teensy and QMK firmware for example), this pretty much applies to any keyboard with conductive matrices.
