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

I don't think that's correct. This switch uses a C contact plate; SKFF's is completely different.

Most interesting, thanks for the write-up! Perhaps a model name starting with SKC and ending with a letter between C and L?

We used to have a Waters ESI-MS system. Not as old as this keyboard, but still interesting to see.

The switches are third-party; Futaba MA. Sejin Electron are well-known for their association with Futaba.

Honestly for compatibility sake, I think that ProWorld switches are very close to Ambers but they are MX mount instead.

Therefore, I think that they are top tier/god clicky switch.

I still require proof of this statement .

As requested, a TDXL of my IBM 4704 107-key Model F. This keyboard is just sublime in so many ways . Hope you enjoy the video!

Not to sound snazzy but: is it just me or do these Ambers sound particularly scratchy/chalky? No, they're super smooth; NOS even! Here's my version :) yours has more wood, whoever made it did a good job. Hope you're enjoying it, Thomas! I assume it is converted to USB? Very nice! :D Yours even has ...

Apple IIc keyboard in custom wood case. The case was made deliberately roomy to allow for optical acoustics. Alps SKCM Amber switches. Hope you enjoy the video .

Hello, please help with identify: https://www.flickr.com/photos/184456093@N05/ The FCC ID reveals it's an NTC KB-5060C, which is a model I'm not familiar with. The switches are Omron B3G-S, however it's difficult to tell the colour of the slider. On the picture it looks salmon-coloured, but this va...

Today we look at a battleship offering from AT&T. The design has many small differences from IBM's, enough so that it's difficult to know who truly made it. Hope you enjoy the video!

The keycaps are extremely RAFI. I'd definitely bet on that.

That's bizarre. If I'd had to guess, I would've reckoned that was a Key Tronic for sure Oo . Cool keyboard though!

As requested, a TDXL of BOX Royal switches. Most definitely an interesting design. You'll also note that like what's been reported with other BOX Royal switches, these have turned partially clicky. Hope you enjoy the video!

Today I can finally show you a working 9009 in all its glory! Always great to see nice, fancy old boards like this pull through. Hope you enjoy the video!

Haha, yes, I remember this keyboard very well! xD Boy, this board was really wasted on someone with a typing form as bad as mine xD .

It's interesting, lots of people have asked me to review this keyboard. I don't suppose I'd like this as much as he seems to, but it's clear he's given it some thought. Very interesting to see someone else's perspective on these things xD .

[…] I would say the flaws are due to the passage of time rather then a built in flaw, had the boards not worked from day 1 when they were made then yes i would agree that it was a flaw. However i doubt that any manufacturer that makes any product keeps a unit in less then favourable storage conditi...

As requested, a TDXL video of Maxi Switch magnetic reeds. These things are REALLY clacky . Hope you enjoy the video!

Yeah pretty sure that's Avid.

Wow, this had me baffled for a long time, I never even considered it was built into the keyboard and not something weird with my windows install No, it was quite on purpose; they thought they were doing us a favor! I don't remember if the Gen1 (gold label) Northgates had that feature, but the Gen2 ...

So, you have a Laser-branded keyboard with an FCC ID that points to Vtech. I have a VTech-branded board with and FCC ID that points to Laser. https://imgur.com/a/Ct5v0VT The plot thickens :p Twist! They're both counterfeits made by a third party! And now for the most mundane gif I've ever made. I t...

Very nice find! I love how even THIS one has a part number starting with 555 xD .

Today we look at an older offering from Cherry, with something non-MX for a change! High time we covered Cherry M8 . Hope you enjoy the video!

Printed on the board is the VTECH logo. I have not looked into this company at all at this point. They're still around: Wikipedia article , company website . Maybe I'm dating myself but I thought they were somewhat of a household name. The FCC ID BNX matches VTC too. Appears they are the OEM, then....

Warning: Shocking

Spoiler:

Sometimes you've got to get a little bit morbid to gain some perspective. Really makes you appreciate the boards that make it out in one piece!

Ok now imagine this but with a kishy

Grinder = rekt

~270 models off the top of my head – I keep them in Kallax cupboards. ahhhh that wey tek MK06! what a beautiful board. I've been searching for one of those for close to 3 years now. Ironically that one's not actually mine xD . It's on loan to me AGAIN xD . (and as before, it's not working :p)

:lol: These comments. I would actually LOVE to make it look a little more nature, add the dust, cable clutter, yesterday's biscotti crumbs all over the desk, etc. That being said, this render took about 9 hours. I do plan to add a little more in ways of natural additions, such as some succulent pla...

Thanks for the tip, but I'm not sure that would fit, either the room, or the keyboards xD . Also, man, expensive!

Of course, glass windows like shown above the the nicest you can get...

Oh, this is a render OF a workstation! I thought it was a workstation where you render things xD .

Many are indeed such ancient artifacts of power, they have to be locked up in a box .

That CAN'T be an actual workstation xD . Where's all the mess?!
