Who has "Atari 600xl" or "800xl" with cherry switches like these photos ? Please provide me a clear picture of its switch. Thanks a lot!

I don't have those specific keyboards but I do have a different non-Atari keyboard with M8 switches if that helps.

This may be useful. Contact the seller to be sure you're getting the right kind.

Thank you green squid
I had bought it last year and the seller told me its model is "M81E-0500". It seems that Atari keyboard is using "M8XX-X6XX". It is different with products in link. But I'm not sure, I need to verify with the person who owns the Atari keyboard.

I am at work but I'll try to get a picture over the weekend.

I bought some of these Cherry M84 switches from 7Bit a few years ago:

Are you trying to find a replacement switch?

Thank you. I think it is M84A-0100. The same as pyrelink's switch

Is there any different switches on this keyboard?
