deskthority

Sorry in advance for the potato pics! I would love to open it up and take some more of the internals but the back of the case is cracked and there's another screw holding it together in addition to the two I removed in the first place, and I can't locate it. Sorry!

Wow nice, it's the CanonFoot XT with green Alps. Want.

Cool. It's XT, but a nice one :P

Yep! It unfortunately doesn't work with a regular din-5 adapter. Is there anyway I can rectify that without teensy'ing or is that my only choice?

You can actually run the converter on a Pro Micro if you don't have a teensy around. There's a workshop thread on how to get it to work with the pinout.

For me, XT is the best layout ever. It is a very nice keyboard. How is it to type on it?

Thank you! Despite the fact that it was in a shed, the switches are very smooth. It is very enjoyable to (pretend) type on it, and I really hope to get it working with a modern system. It's a charming board!

Is it majority Green alps or white?

No white, cream spacebar and green everything else.

I really like the style of the case...but I am a fan of bezel, which seems to be unpopular currently.

Cream/ivory linear is a heavier switch used for space bar. The alternate action switch was also cream.

When the ~2nd generation came around and all the colours changed, these two types changed to grey.

It seems that Korean-made keyboards (Gold Star Alps) made the alternate action switch the same colour as the normal switches, instead of the same colour as the heavier switch.
