Early Northgates were rebranded Focus boards. Other than that,...

Re: Northgate Omnikeys Focus PCB? Questions?
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.

Ergodex DX1 review (single key module things)
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.

Re: Are there buckling dome switches? Alternative to beam spring.

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