Need help identifying this old cherry board i got from school.

[Lunar]

Surprisingly clean.

What switch is this?

This is the only label on the board.

This is the plug on it, pretty sure it aint ps2 is there a way to make this work on a windows pc?

[t!ng]

Canot tell, but I am wondering why there is a deeper hole in the capslock in the 2nd picture.

They look a bit like M6 or M7 but with a different housing.

Cherry UB88 as seen on pcwaishe http://bbs.wstx.com/forum.php?mod=viewt ... &tid=36933, I believe a different variant of the switches tho, which would explain yours being 0005 rather than 0008

Very rare, I've never seen a board like that, someone on geekhack suggested that it's dated back when cherry had their plants in the UK rather than germany

No idea about the connector sadly

Nice find, yes what's up with the hole in the capslock? Pull more caps and take more pics please. That link of yours is not working Dra!

[Chyros]

The connector is an obsolete DIN variant. I suspect it's not going to be easy to get it to work. Ask Orihalcon if his converter might work on it.

Very nice find indeed, I've never seen anything like this .

It's working for me seebart, otherwise just google UB88, pcwaishe should be the first link

Okay i took some more pictures and seems like the hole in the caps lock is for an led. Also the space bar has just 3 switches instead of stabilizers


Heres some pics in an imgur gallery

Lunar, it's the covered version of Cherry M8 but you have the very rare Tee slider. I never seen this before!
Your keyboard is same as the Cherry UB88-0016 keyboard on this thread.(it has the original Cherry M8 white covered version)

You should take inside the keyboard and PCB if have time.

And thanks for the pin-out details. It's very nice.
