I think it's a Tai-Hao 5150 actually. Focus used the more generic Tai-Hao doubleshots on their boards, while Tai-Hao made theirs with their thick FAME-like ones. They look subtly different.seebart wrote: ↑ Right, that's what I thought. You did say...which is the key here, the only reason I'm being slightly obtrusive is so that we don't say anything wrong here. Chyros should know for sure anyway.Focus FK-747 I think :S
Thank you, that's awesome.
I hope this might help identify it. Could you please tell me how to use FCC ID to identify an item?Chyros wrote: ↑Hahaha wow are they Tai-Hai Cherry doubleshots? xD
Not a clue what the switches are, but looks like some sort of dome with slider design. In fact most extremely obscure ones are dome with slider because so many, SO MANY different designs of them were made xD .
The FCC ID is basically a unique ID that is used for registering products in the US. Generally it is the OEM that registers it, NOT the one the product it was made for. The first three characters identify who this is, you can google it if you want to, although you get to know them by heart easily over time. A6Q = NMB, CIG = Key Tronic, GYI = Alps USA, FSQ = Focus, etc. It's useful for identifying who made a keyboard. Sometimes, like with the Dell Quietkey, this allows you to tell you whether it's got NMB dome with slider switches (AQ6 models) or conductive domes (GYU). Or Silitek-made (GYU) AT101s from Alps-made ones (GYI). You can also use it to pin a keyboard to a location. It's extremely useful, a must-have tool in the field.Mr.Nobody wrote: ↑I hope this might help identify it.

DXO identifies the manufacturer as Copam, a Taiwan-based company. The suffix KB453P is probably the model name. Copam made among others a design very similar to that Tai-Hao above with blue Alps - makes sense considering they were in Taiwan. The fact this one is from the USA rather than Taiwan would explain why it doesn't use Alps switches.
Usually, if the FCC ID does not point to a well-known manufacturer, it's a rubber dome or dome with slider keyboard, in my experience. Earlier Copam keyboards which WERE mechanical included rebranded Monterey OEM boards, so the FCC ID would have showed you it's actually a Monterey board, strongly suggesting Alps or Alps-like switches, which indeed they were.Mr.Nobody wrote: ↑DXO identifies the manufacturer as Copam, a Taiwan-based company.

Thanks a lot, quite a lot to learn...however this one doesn't tell whether it's rubber freakin' dome or switches...I just spot another identical one with Copam logo on it. I am going to FCC website to dig around

I definitely recommend getting a good grip of FCC IDs. On eBay it's absolutely invaluable in identifying keyboards, switches, etc.
Yes, but it isn't PS/2. It's from a POS system so hence why there is a lock.Mr.Nobody wrote: ↑Is this IBM buckling spring keyboard compatible with PS/2 protocol? The model number is 4680-B

I saw this code, someone offered me something like thisterrycherry wrote: ↑I found the very early Can Technology buckling spring and brought it but the fucking seller cancel my bidding to sell for some sucking man! wtf! Don't wanna buy from this shop ever!
But, who buy it here?
