[SOLD] Jarltech Cherry MX blue matrix

[Icarium]

This was probably programmable at some point but I doubt you will be able to find the software to do it anymore.



Very solid and heavy. Feels good. Might be a nice starting point for a custom matrix build.

Make an offer, if you're interested!

Looks like one of those PS/2 Tipros which needed Win16 software and a native port to program them.

It has absolutely nothing to do with a Tipro.

At least when it comes to Tipros.

They very least!

How do you know it is not a Tipro then? It’s not just that label is it?

How do I know?

Well, first of all Jarltech is a company of their own with no ties to Tipro:

And then, of course, I had one of these Jarltech keyboards
It is a 8011 model and is programmable only under MS-DOS.

DOS? Oldschool 16 bit.

Obviously, what I had in mind was a Tipro MID series like this:

Spoiler:

Been a while since I had mine, so I forgot about the front lip which is quite obviously different from the Jarltech. Are all MID series like that? The staggered one on the wiki is.

Both keyboards in your pics share the absolute same case.
This is a common feature in Tipro keyboards. So there is just one type of screw for all parts.

You can easily recognize a Tipro by its 8x16 matrix, by the way. Most others (including the Jarltech in the first post) have 7x15.
