Aren't those buckling springs?

Lalaland124 · 14 Feb 2021, 15:23

Is this the IBM Model M122 or F122

?

M

Those numbers usually start with 138 or 139, F-122 numbers usually start with 611.

Nixdorf keyboard with ominous switches. Does anyone have an idea what these are?

O.K. guys, Lion Tech. Read a bit about one model being made by Dih Shin bit I can find little else. More interested in this style of dome with slider; haven't seen one like it before. Anyone recognise it?

Not a Beamspring. This is Xerox, not IBM.

Found this online for 6euros, is this an Alps switch?

Please use the IDENTIFY THE KEYSWITCH thread when you know the keyboard but not the switch.

BTW. The Switch recognition guide is also a good resource, although I can't identify this one there.

The pic obviously shows a typewriter, the switch seems to be a Cherry M9:

I have a buckling spring board here. I looked up the FCC ID it seems to belong to Can Technologies. There's even an entry in the wiki about the FCC ID but this keyboard is different. No model or manufacturer listed but it lists the same patent numbers. It's clearly newer as it has windows keys.

Findecanor · 22 Feb 2021, 12:56

Branded "Syncan" or "Can". The model number is there in the FCC ID after the grantee code. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=un65h8NWSAE

There's this ad: ACS (Alpha Computer Systeme)-branded Key Tronic E03623ELGRKTC-C (105key German layout, DIN5 connector) with "Key Tronic MPR II-KEY" on the spacebar.

It's quite clear what keyboard it is (another CIGE03600W), I'm just curious what the "Key Tronic MPR II-KEY" on the spacebar means. I found this older thread where the box reads:

MPR II
Exclusive conductive spacebar for enhanced environmental safety

Is it the grounding?
