It also has cintage MX Blacks, making it to have the potential to be mutch...Mutch smoother than a new mx black. And the keys in the moddle (GHJK for example) are buttery smooth. And yes. there IS a difference between new and vintage MX Blacks.
Respect!

Are those dye-sub keycaps? They're very eye-catching. In theory you could 3D-print parts to go inside them to use them with another switch.

A third party external Commodore PET keyboard … maybe the one posted here recently. I forget if that was real SMK or clones.

I had a feeling it was the one I'd seen before. I just forgot which switches it was.

Does it actually say Key Tronic anywhere on the board? Looks like a Chicony KB-5151.

I'm quite sure the OEM is Chicony then, I've got the same keyboard as far as I can tell. A Key Tronic with MX Black would be very unusual :)
