I have one of these. It's a KB-7001. I love it, but my switches are probably only 6/10 and need to be cleaned. Also, it's a bit light, but not terrible. Overall I definitely recommend it.

I have a black one that's the same model, KPV6B05. It is indeed rubber dome. My beige TI AT has Taiwan Jet Axis.

Very old ("Made in W. Germany") Preh Commander board. Interesting US layout with ISO enter, A1000-like arrow block, and possibly programmable keys.


I bought one of these from the same seller a few months ago. It has some sort of dome with slider switch I ...

Fujitsu N860-2519. The seller claims it has 3rd gen Fujitsu Leaf Spring switches. If I didn't already have a bunch of FLS boards I would've snatched it up

You're right, I meant ST, not SC

I love keyboards with bizarre layouts like this! Plus, I haven't seen many Alphameric boards.

Those look like they have stabiliser bars, but that also means that the switches between each one can't be very wide. Because of that, and because it has a white plate, it is likely not mechanical.


I'm not saying that you're wrong, but I have a PC Accessories KB-7001 in front of me with a 2u ...

I don't know what this thing is, but it appears to have Cherry M61-0100 switches. Unfortunately it's missing a keycap

I have a DEC LK201. I can confirm that it's a spring on membrane. It feels interesting, but not great. It's fairly scratchy and rough. It gets worse toward the edge of the key press, but doesn't quite bind. The space bar is pretty nice though, oddly enough.

They use a clicky version of FLS3 ;) .
Ah, OK. The difference between the Data General and my Fujitsu FM Towns board ( 4th gen FLS? ) was so stark I thought the Data General might be something other than FLS. The FM Towns board has a very weak click, but the Data General has a great click.

Thanks ...

I believe this is a Data General of some sort. I bought a very similar looking keyboard a few months ago. Mine has switches that look like Fujitsu Leaf Spring but feel and sound like a clickier version of Alps Plate Spring.
