Not sure how interesting this is to anyone else, but I nabbed what I think are two pretty cool boards a few weeks ago (been meaning to post them).
I was actually looking for an FK-5001 or FK-9000, mostly for the weird layout, when I came across this. It has a very similar layout, but without the calculator functionality (it's a sick feature, but I don't mind not having to deal with the battery issues) and with a normal F-row. It was listed as "new", but it's a bit dirty. Still very good condition, with no noticeable yellowing on the caps and heckin' smooth switches, so I'm not gonna complain.
FCC ID shows 1991, but this is basically the only info I was able to find on the board. Very little info online (basically I found one other source for this board, and I'm pretty sure it's the one I bought).
SKCM Whites, look just like the ones found on the FK-5001. I'm not super clear on how the generations work, but I'm pretty sure I've felt better whites than this (though I haven't been able to compare these to others side by side).

Anyone know more about this board? I don't know that much about Focus, so idk if it was a common thing for them to make boards for other companies, or maybe Proxellent just really liked the FK-5001 and decided to copy it.

Also, I found this Chicony new-in-boxag at my local makerspace.
I have hundreds of MX-mount SMK 2nd gen switches, but these are my first Monterey Blues. Feels exactly the same, as far as I can tell. This is also my first time with an ISO enter since I was a kid and I gotta say, it feels like coming home. I might have to move away from pure ANSI (though I'm sticking with non-split left shift).

I scanned the "Quick Installation Guide" and uploaded it to Google Drive, if anyone's interested https://drive.google.com/file/d/1BWO3IP ... sp=sharing

What little I have seen about them previously suggests to me that it's a Focus-made OmniKey knockoff, although I have no genuine proof of that at all, it's more that it has a lot of things in common. It would make sense, as Focus appears to have made the OmniKeys (at the very least some of them) as well.
