thanks bro! Looks like it's not so rare after all, but apparenty still better than the one it originally came with.

Hello hello! Forgot to double check Myoth's google-fu, and the OP notified me about this:
I’m not sure why they are being so smart about it. They posted links to a model 1, my TRS-80 is a model 3 with an integrated keyboard. It’s not the same as the model I and it’s not in the pictures they posted.

No it's not really rare in the world of vintage keyboards but who cares, you found it for free after all.

Much better than the crappy integrated dome ones! The Trash-80 is awesome.Posted: 17 Apr 2018, 19:30

so ... it's not the same BUT it has the same layout, the same switches, the caps, and they came from the same line of computer ? how far from each other can they be ??? that'd be like saying the 0414 from my terminal is not the same as Hansichen's because his is in a casegreen-squid wrote: Hello hello!

, sure it's not the same but it's close enough ...anyway, I'm not sure what you wanted to get info in, you knew where it came from, the switches and pretty much everything about it, what did you want to know more about it ?

The wiki pages for SKCC Cream and Alps integrated dome both mention it with references.
The SKCC version was mentioned here in 2014 (per the reference on the SKCC Cream page):

Haha, I love how small some corners of the internet are. I'm the "a guy on reddit" who spotted his other video and sent him a couple of spares I've got. Hilarious to see it loop back around here.

One is a G80-0414 and the other one is a G80-0414H, so there is a difference

The moral of the story here is that before asking about general information on a keyboard, you should first check the wonderful wiki that this community (mostly Daniel) has created to see if it answers your questions.
