Looks very Key Tronic to me...

Is there any evidence of Northgate markings on any Focus boards? The fact that they share the same keycaps suggests that they were at least buying parts from the same supplier, if not Focus making them in house and Northgate using them. Early Northgates were rebranded Focus boards. Other than that,...

I've reported one of these in one of my Focus videos, I'm pretty sure it was a 555 one. NG Bob sent me a scan of a Focus-branded PCB on a 1st gen OmniKey, just like this. I've been trying to establish what link there was between Focus and Northgate for a while, and from everything I've dug up, it's ...

Wow, that's really cool =o . Love the Fujitsu logo badge too!

Jesus Christ mate, that's a fucking AAA-grade collection! It's just one superb piece after another!

For the Alps fanboys, nice video from Adrian's Digital Basement featuring a Leading Edge computer and of course its matching Alps keyboard. mqDQ7S5A0Xc If you want to go directly to the Alps lottery part, skip to 17:48 https://youtu.be/mqDQ7S5A0Xc?t=1068 Looks like he's a blue Alps fan too ^^ .

Today we look at a very unique keyboard – the Ergodex DX1 repositionable "keyboard". Basically a DIY macropad kit, it consists of loose switch modules that can be individually programmed and positioned on the keyboard in whatever way the user desires.

There are several designs that mimic this. The closest is clicky FLS3, which uses an actual buckling metal dome.

Apple's butterfly switches are also a (very very low profile) execution of the same principle.

MA are similar but it's not really a dome.

Want one of those hybrid MX switches with Alps click leaves. Really REALLY want to cover one of these. I'll give you a good price for it .

Many excellent keyboards, choice choices really! GLWS!

Today we look at one of the prettiest keyboards ever made, as well as the most mechanical-sounding one I've ever heard. Quite a lot to talk about, then. Hope you enjoy the video!

Looks like an Ortek MCK-101.

Today we review the rather crazy i-rocks K76M Fun keyboard - a weird LEGO-compatible keyboard with Alps-inspired switches. Hope you enjoy the video!

And now for something completely different. Hope you enjoy this intermittent review!

Man, that's really cool, well done!

On today's menu is the Corsair K100 with their new OPX optoelectric switches. Hope you enjoy!

Cool stuff man! I remember doing a review on this keyboard, it was a very impressive model!

Blue, orange and CBS are in the lead!

I'm going to register 50 accounts just so I can vote for Cherry MX Brown .

No need, just hold this poll on Reddit or something and 99% of the votes will be for MX xD .

Definitely Cindy from Elecshopper.

Northgate Bob is a nice guy but his definition of "great condition" are somewhat loose :p .

Very nice, love the badged converter box too .

I don't have Instagram, but I'll see if I can get hold of some Aberlour 12. I tend to like the really heavily peated stuff though xD .

Blue, orange and CBS are in the lead!

Maybe you should contact Novelkeys / Kaihua to mass-produce these, like they did with the big MX switches ^^ . I'd SO buy a giant SKCM blue switch!

This thing is just.... xD . Hope you enjoy the video, guys!

Sounds good, I'm definitely interested!

Today we look at a cool old board made by Fujitsu, with great switches and very impressive keycaps. Hope you like the video!

Thanks for the write-up! That Ortek is really cool, never seen that model before! =o

Hahaha this is completely awesome, how the hell did I miss this?! xD

Today we compare a bunch of classic battlecruiser keyboards! I promised this one a while ago and now it's finally time to take a look at these. Hope you enjoy the video!

Wow, and I thought _I_ had poor typing pose xD .
