Some days ago I bought a lot of terminal keyboards.
Here are the pictures, I will sell the keyboards later in a sale thread (user who contacted me already get a discount).
The keyboards come with two types of switches, to my luck it turned out that 9 have mx browns and 2 mitsumi miniature mechanical switches.

The keycaps are lasered and printed. The are all Devlin Q series.

The keyboards have a metall case (case + underside). They are really nice and sturdy (~2,6kg).
The switches are plate mounted (both types) and the keyboard is Devlin branded (also the PCB).
I dont know if they have diodes, but the matrix seems really easy to adapt (simple 7x18). I think I will convert one with a teensy, there is a socket at the top of the PCB which will make that easy.
Now the pictures:

They are just awful, I tested one year ago a keyboad with them and the are still not better.Daniel Beardsmore wrote: ↑What's your view on the Mitsumi switches?
Horrible keybinding and a scratchy feeling, I tested even the keys which had a keyblocker (so that the switches are unused), but they feeling was the same. The switch is just a misconstruction.
