Re: What was the "Summer of Ping"

https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=35 ... #msg655373

If you haven't yet, contact the guys at http://www.symbolics-dks.com , they occasionally put symbolics keyboards on ebay and will send you a notification about it when you ask them to do so.

Good Luck

Re: Great/Interesting Finds

So at least there're two variants existing, hall effect and ITW switches respectively? I doubt if we could distinguish from just observing keycaps. 31E05592-D650-4702-9873-0B4EA0606663.jpeg This one has the ITW switches. Honeywell mount, so indistinguishable by caps.

Re: Coolest keyboard find of 2021?

My only keyboard bought in the last two years, so my best and my worst find of 2021 at the same time :)

The grailiness(?) to scruffiness ratio was too good to resist.
