that model m clone i posted earlier has a lock light sticker that is very similar to the omnikeys...
Actually the font looks more like Focus or Keymouse. Neat looking keyboard!Tritian wrote: 29 May 2021, 21:23 that model m clone i posted earlier has a lock light sticker that is very similar to the omnikeys...
Hmmm...check this one out--switch photo looks like MX, not buckling spring at all.Tritian wrote: 29 May 2021, 21:38 Ahh, well there seems to definitely be some lineage here. I agree it looks nice. I dont think it's worth $70 and I suspect the build quality is like wet cardboard, but it looks really tempting.
He has dirtier examples for $40 and everywhere inbetween... i still agree thats a bit high with the shipping.
This is a Chicony 5181 I think. Can't read the FCC ID but the back label is very Chicony. Switches would then be Aristotle? Identity probably just rebranded a bunch of stuff.Polecat wrote: 29 May 2021, 21:47 Hmmm...check this one out--switch photo looks like MX, not buckling spring at all.

Now that you say that I can "see" the Chicony model number clearly in the FCC code. Good call on that. I'm sure you're right about Identity Systems rebranding multiple keyboards. And giving them all the same model number, which means we have to identify them by physical features.4_404 wrote: 30 May 2021, 00:22
