I wouldn't go quite that far… https://i.imgur.com/KWzIYfS.jpg https://i.imgur.com/7h2W8QF.jpg Has Stackpole vibes to me. Maybe I’m wrong and it’s Micro Switch Hall effect or something else proper vintage, but there’s so many god awful waffle frames from that era in lower end gear with deceptively n...

The board looks really great if we dont talk about price

What a beauty! Don't know about the board but screams green alps to me.

Yeah, green or yellow is aswell my guessing but this is the only pic I have about it, sadge

May someone know what this board is?

Siemens ST switch.

Fucking lord, there're at least 1.2K old keyboards working under Soarers firmware in today's modern computers.

Salute Soarer.

Do we know how many switch variants these TI boards come with in total?

So far, NeonGreen, Brown, low-height ITW magnetic valve and this one?

I'll say its a good deal, congrats.

Wow , impressive job

May I ask what switches does the videoton VDN board come with?

Sorry for the late answer. Micro USA 4B3S: wiki/Micro_Switch_SD_Series

Make sense if take a close look, gorgeous, thanks for telling.

I almost get a similar one off ebay, seller also located at Germany so I'm guessing they're same thing.

Iirc its kinda of rubber dome, ignore me im wrong.

I arranged my keyboards residing in the attic for a photo shoot:

May I ask what switches does the videoton VDN board come with? I'm thinking SKCC but possible futaba MD and some early cherry variants also.

What switches this could have?

wiki/Acer_switch

I'm no expert apparenly but if you could make a converter for this switch, specifically for this keyboard model, it'll be a breakthrough to lots of ppl surely.

One sold in Germany last week for 1200EUR. I think one or two others sold for a fair bit more a while ago, but the listings have disappeared.

Oh wow that’s a really good price. For this amount I’m definitely not selling mine.

Sounds not really good

Dont forget me.

Aren't clips used for stabilizers? Seriously?

Lowered to $4682

Made in India, that really surprised me.

Ahhh, there's an OKI ground spring keyboard, looks cool.

Wiki is right, 100% rubber dome.

I dont think we have many chances to come across ansi layout alps AE caps, charming.

So no three-terminal clones. (Telcontar does not mention the MS1SS1 model.)

Apologise, I have it in hands very limited time and let it go quickly, memory messed. I shared sth here one year before:viewtopic.php?f=2&t=25902&p=488830&hilit=262#p488830

At least some ppl would be interested in Consul 262.3 keyboard PCB, also 3 terminal sensors, VCC, input and output legs, hold type so very friendly to use. Question is pcb has no matrix so impossible to make it beyond 1 key rollover, desperate to deserve a new one to go NKRO. No idea if will interes...

About the 3-terminal OG sensors, as they're basically smth hard to get or get enough to complete the project, you may want some replacers. I tested few types before and I can sure you the modern sensors like A3144 could take over this part flawlessly, pad is bit thick so you need sand one side caref...

OMG, Soarer also supportes such options, sure it will work if so, kind.

"E" ending is 3-terminal sensors and still, hold type, so its easily converted, I highly doubt for some type sensors Soarer firmware will work flawlessly as the output is inverse sigbal compared to normal contact switches, unless you could mod its source code, sadly looks impossible. I dont have thi...
