Haven't seen this Commodore PC keyboard before (I have a Commodore Colt with matching keyboard which is more like the OG IBM PC layout). This looks like from the PC-AT era?

Re: IDENTIFY THE KEYBOARD thread

What's this board from a recent eBay listing*? I find the legends on the keycaps quite interesting. Note the unusual F13-F16 keys.

SKCM orange, to lube or not?

I’m restoring a AEK I with orange alps and I’m wondering if I should lube them after cleaning (they’re pretty dirty so they def need the cleaning). And if yes, what lube and how to apply?

Re: IDENTIFY THE KEYBOARD thread

From a recent eBay listing. Manufacturer is “Video Technologies”. The nav cluster and blank keys in the bottom row make it slightly more interesting than run-of-the mill boards. Does anyone know what this is, what switches it uses? (I assume it’s very cheaply made.) D3F84AF2-FF63-4837-A5CB-4CAC7C7B3...

This is the keyboard cable that came with these, there's no coil. 5-pin DIN on both sides.

Re: Great/Interesting Finds

Guys, what do you think about purchasing keyboards on eBay? Do you know something about scams here or how to detect them? My friend persuades me that there's nothing to fear.
