The Fujitsu one, however is not in working order, the owner said he might have misaligned the plastic sheets, 10 keys can't register...

Amazing! Are these from the batch the recycler has/had?

How do the Peerless domes feel? Mine are basically dead, but I'd love to feel some less-dead ones.

*barf*
I had no idea there were IBM branded Fujitsu Peerlesses. Nasty.

EDIT: What's sort of sketchy is the fact where the fujitsu logo goes, there's and LED indicator strip. Why would a production keyboard have two sets of redundant LEDs, or false ones? Clearly that keyboard has them under the keyswitches like all Peerlesses.

If that's not fake I'd be really surprised.

If it isn't a knockoff, is it possible that the owner just stuffed a Fujitsu Peerless assembly into a Model M case? That there are two sets of LEDs is pretty sketchy to me as well.

The internal assembly might be from an ISO Tandy Enhanced keyboard, which looks almost identical to a Model M to me:

Well damn. If this is true that Fujitsu assembly looks so factory in the Model M case.

Yeah, Fujitsu basically cloned the Model M layout identically (minus the hat capslock key and the font w/ characteristic arrow keys). We'd need more photos of the thing to confirm. One thing that's odd about that chassis is the badge looks like it's the size of an SSK one rather than the larger oval...
May even be worth to take a look at IBM's catalogue to see if such a thing was ever offered for sale.

Haha wow, some pretty fun finds then ^^ .

Those blue dyesubs are one of the nicest things I've ever seen.

it turns out that the Fujitsu IBM is a fake, the seller admits that he made this one using parts from different keyboards.

What a troll!
