[WTS][EU-AT] NOS Kawasaki with Fujitsu Leaf Spring

[EnthusiastDude]

For sale is a NOS Kawasaki keyboard that uses linear Fujitsu Leaf Spring switches of the third generation. It is basically brainless and uses a "WS28 24 pin connector" which connects to the rows and columns of the switch matrix, therefore making an adapter for it should be fairly easy.

The keycaps are thick PBT dyesubs with japanese sublegends just like the ones on the tandy 3000 keyboard that chyrosran reviewed.

Despite being NOS some keys bind a little on off-center keypresses, but I successfully fixed that on another fujitsu leaf spring board by lubing the sliders, so that shouldn't be a problem. These are very smooth however, as you probably are aware of.

I honestly have no idea what this is worth, just pm me with your offer.

How much would shipping to Canada be? I am interested but shipping will likely kill my interest

[EnthusiastDude]

Thanks for the interest, but it's sold.
However I have another one left that's already converted to USB, but I planned to keep it for myself. But you know, everything has a price.

Shipping to Canada is 25€, not cheap but I guess that's to be expected.

Oh wow...not to hijack your thread, but I recently picked up a keyboard module and I had no idea what it was...Randomly came across this and I guess I have the keyboard module from this board lol

[EnthusiastDude]

That's nice, how do you like it?

[forter4]

Overall, I like them!

I like the feel a lot, but the travel is a bit shorter than I'm used to

And admittedly, the sound isn't the best. It isn't unpleasant, but I suspect it would be better if I had a case for it
