Yeah. Given the "special order" look of this thing then, maybe it was a temporary solution from before or after the availability of the SKFF equivalent., or maybe Canon requested a less clicky double action switch. Edit: Regarding the model code, do note that SKCC is a family that comprises at least...

This switch is already documented, actually. It's SKFF Double Action. HaaTa covered a later variant in this thread.

That's bizarre. If I'd had to guess, I would've reckoned that was a Key Tronic for sure Oo . Cool keyboard though! :) Key Tronic and DCS legends do have a very similar style, but there's an easy way to tell them apart. Look at the 3. Key Tronic's font gives it a flat top, whereas on DCS it has a ro...

I'm guessing that's got Futaba switches of some description.

Fujitsu Peerless. Here's the wiki page on this keyboard family.

Well it's certainly nothing to do with the one on the wiki. That's about two decades newer than this.

This honkin keyboard caught my attention. Does anyone know what switch it uses? It's made by Lear Siegler for the ADM 42 terminal. https://i.imgur.com/JENWkMu.jpg That'll be Stackpole switch grid. Here's another ADM series board on the wiki , and the caps look to be a match for other Stackpole boar...

Have you seen this before?

If you're up for a bit of soldering, you can assemble a converter yourself and flash Soarer's converter onto it. As far as I know, the cheapest and most readily available board that can be used is the Pro Micro and clones of it. That should be much cheaper than buying a prebuilt one from the US or w...

The keycaps are definitely Cherry. Judging by the shape of them (they look low and flat profile), I would be expecting Cherry ML... but the wiki claims that wasn't introduced until a few years after this machine?

Pretty sure GYUR (as opposed to GYUM, etc.) on Silitek boards means it's a rubber dome board.

Edit: A later board in this thread disproves this.

All this talk of AT connectors and bootlegs reminds me, the cable of my Model M bugs me. Surely they're not supposed to have a logo that looks like THIS, right? IBerM.jpg That's got to be too far off model for IBM to tolerate. I mean, here's an XT's plug for comparison. IBMXTplug.jpg So what's up wi...

Well, for whatever it's worth, the keycaps appear to be the same family that was used on the Amstrad CPC 464. Don't know if that helps narrow anything down though. Pretty sure I've seen them on a few seemingly unrelated boards.

Pink and white colourway, Japanese legends AND an oversized Hello Kitty artisan? Best GB ever!

OK, that is the Alps version then.

Just so you're aware, the M0110A was manufactured by three different companies, so you'll want to check which version you've got. The quickest way to check seems to be the country it was manufactured in.

Box Whites are significantly lighter than MX Blue. Have a look at measurements of them:

Not an expert on this, but from what I can see online, the 4704 uses a unique protocol, so that Hasu converter probably won't help. It doesn't look like Soarer's Converter supports this board's protocol either. However, from this thread, it looks like Soarer's Controller probably is compatible.

A board that size is the opposite of Reddit's collective taste anyway

No surprise. This A4Tech seems to have been a pretty cheeky outfit. That first one also looks like a somewhat looser knockoff of a Microsoft Intellimouse Trackball.

Which model are you referring to? A Google search suggests that RadioShack sold at least two models of trackball. There's this one . which looks pretty cool, but the lack of optical tracking would presumably mean almost any trackball from this century would be a better performer. And then there's th...

Hey there, just a lurker here, sorry if I mess anything up. Kudos to all here for the wiki. It's an invaluable resource, so I hope I can give something back with this thread. So, I've got this TI-99/4A: IMG_8580.JPG When I read that it can come with several different switches, I was curious which on...
