I was looking for old and cheap Mechanical Keyboard (to make it my first ) and there ain't so many places to look here in my country (Chile) but I found this old keyboard that i dont know if it was mechanical or any good:

Hewlett Packard
Product Number: C3654A #ABM. Part#: C3754-60208. D/M: 3442



Help me please?

Touch it.
Feel it.
Experience it.

Tell us if it's good or not.

Ok, so it should be mechanical then. If it is ill buy it and take pictures.

no, probably not

If it turns out that it's just a rubber-dome board :

Since You are from Chile, like my cousins husband, and I'm from Denmark (!),
I'm willing to make you a very good deal on a IBM Model M however, it's born with Danish ISO-layout.

You will have to cover the shipping-expenses and the cost of a 'Spanish' key-cap set from Unicomp,
but the board itself will be a steal !
Send me a PM if you are interested ..

I think that HP keyboard is a rubber dome keyboard made by Key Tronic. I have seen another keyboard for HP that looked very much like this and was definitely a Key Tronic rubber dome, but it was all white.

Wow! thanks a lot guys, specially Peter. But today i went hunting and found an old used electronics shop wich had 2 keyboards (one is good the other not that much). Ill post the models and pictures later!

EDIT: Both Keyboard HERE!

I may need your help for cleaning them. Is it safe to lubricate the switches with something (ie WD-40) since they were dusty as hell?

You can lubricate but it's a lot of work if you're doing it right. Compressed air is the recommended first step for cleaning.

Ok, i dont have a can right now, ill use contact cleaner
