You could try to find a winkeyless Cherry G80-3000 keyboard with Cherry MX switches and use the innards plus the missing keycaps.

I had one G81 3000 HAD with black MX switches.
The FCCID on the left contained G80-3000.
What is the FCCID on yours?

from some old calculator thing i found in the trash:

Did you buy this from a seller from Austria?

or you could wire it as if it would be two switches and actually take advantage of the switch.

probably double action switches: two contacts for the normal keypress, the other two for when you press harder all the way down. is it marquardt butterfly switches ( https://deskthority.net/wiki/Marquardt_Butterfly )? it should have mitsumi standard mechanical and the switches with 4 pins should be ...

Is this Cherry Olympia clear? I don`t think the Carrera II comes with the clear linear Cherry switches. They are used in the Carrera and Carrera SI, but those can also come with Marquart 6180 switches. My guess is that the Olympia Cherry switches where adapted to meet the Marquart 6180 specificatio...

the hollow guides for the stabilizers might be loose on the plate or missaligned, check if they sit well on the plate and grease them.

desolder all the switches first, lift off the pcb and push the switches out of the plate one by one. i don´t know of a way to avoid breaking some of the wings.

The wheelwriter keyboard i took apart didn't have a rubber sheet but o-rings instead . This made it louder/more clicky

I plan to put some better switches in mine, get rid of the touchpad and make a new case for it.

Wow, what a find! What date codes are there on the typewriter? If Mitsumi made the PCB, it should have a date label on it. Also, what codes are there on the PCB? I am hoping that there is something resembling known [wiki]Mitsumi model numbers[/wiki] that would give us the series name of the switche...

I found this switches in an Olympia Startype typewriter:

Those keypads are made by Mitsumi

I found this keypad in one of my keyboard boxes the other night and was wondering if there is an easy way to convert this to usb? originally i had put it in the box because the switches are scratchy, squeaky and bind. since then i have found a keyboard with white cherry mount mitsumi miniature switc...

pearl buckling krampus

since i don't have another use for the, left over from crt times, corner desk, it has become my bicycle rack. its out of the way and makes people smile. my co-worker thinks the apple keyboard with click modded white damped alps is quieter than the bigfoot dell i have used before. the keypad adds fun...

i would never use alcohol to clean plastic because it can damage the plastic surfaces.
if you really need to use a solvent to get rid of sticky or oily residues you should first try with dish soap dissolved in lots of water and if necessary put some drops of alcohol into the solution.

acme or something similar, don't remember the exact model or name. should have alps clone switches.
the keycaps on mine are printed.
are the proworld linear or the clicky variant?

Anyway, even on such a small pic the font (not the keyboard, of course) is clearly recognizable as Cherry.
Want to take a bet on that?

I bet those aren't original Cherry. Look at the German specific keys and how bad they are printed.

You could use copper tape instead of wires and put some layers of clearcoat over it.

this could be what you are looking for:

What's the reasoning behind o-rings and why have they disappeared since? I don't think the orings do anything with bottoming out, only area you can place something that will effect that would be on the top of the barrel. I think they are only for changing the buckling sound response. Edit : adding ...

Nice board! Caps seems not shine. But I think it's have Cherry MX Clear. You can recognize it as a cherry mx white switch by the little stub on the slider. it feels similar to mx blue switches, only that some click and some don't. as far as i know this happens because of the grease that is applied ...

What can i expect to get for this xt-keyboart by Micronorth Co Ltd? It uses white cherry mx switches that feel a little inconsistent, but it is working fine. https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8707/28276760884_b9b72e59e7_k.jpg https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8869/28894074385_496303ff84_k.jpg https://farm...

What would be a fair price to ask for a cleaned and testet M 122 made in the UK in 89? With or without converter?
