Re: List of keyboards. Any good one?
There might be a couple of boards in there worth having. I do see an MCK 500, which should be an Ortek with white alps or clones. Sorry to necro this, but is it true that the Ortek MCK-500 has Alps and/or clones? I can't find anything about it anywhere. You know what, upon closer inspection, the on...

Re: IDENTIFY THE KEYBOARD thread
Anyone recognises this board? It has rather unusual f-key layout. Backside has no label. https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/C5gAAOSw3PRf82tL/s-l1600.jpg I would actually say that this a quite odd board, one that I only know of because I own one. It looks about identical to my hk-101, a board made by ho...

Re: IDENTIFY THE KEYBOARD thread
https://i.redd.it/g7u10wsfgjz51.jpg This looks like a Futaba MA switch keyboard. But I cannot identify what keyboard it is. The paper next to the keyboard says TS1000, but that seems to be a totally different keyboard. This is not my photo, so I cannot further inspect this keyboard. What keyboard i...

Re: NMB RT101+
NIce! I love mine- it seems to be a mid-transition board that has the newer style case, but the older, stepped keycaps as yours has. NMB really did make some amazing shit back in the day.

Re: The World is going Pro
Sounds slightly similar to the clicky HTK Switches I have in an old board- quite a unique switch as well.

Re: Who knows about this switch?
These are Oak Full Travel Membrane switches, meaning that, like the Model M, they use a membrane sheet underneath the keys, instead of a PCB. I've always been interested in trying these out- how are they, I assume not too great? The wiki has a little write-up on them: https://deskthority.net/wiki/Oa...

BTC foam and foil. Some of the 5060s had MX mount stems, others had Keytronics style split stems, but both were foam and foil.
