Commodore KPQ-E99YC

Looks like I have me a new "psi-chopath" stalker:

[wiki]Commodore KPQ-E99YC[/wiki]

I mentioned this keyboard in a new personal to-do page on the wiki (I didn't have the model number, so I wasn't planning on writing it up yet), and before I knew it, this fantastic set of photos turned up on the wiki.

Someone (cough … Kurk) was reading my mind …

I should think about a few other keyboards and see what else we can rustle up :)

(Thanks Kurk — great job with those photos!)

People sometime ask if this keyboard has Cherry MX switches, because it has the same colour scheme as the Commodore PC-5 and PC-10 keyboards.

I had never seen it until … today? Or was it yesterday? Not sure — they've done a good job with their Model M replica, but I can't imagine anyone wanting to type on a Mitsumi over a Model M!

I did see an ISO version, so I presume that there will be multiple model and/or part numbers for the full series.

Funny thing. I bought the keyboard because it looked so M-like. Well, the looks are great, the actual typing is not.
Anyway, when I finished this stump of an wiki entry I somehow ended up on your personal to-do page and realized that you were talking about this keyboard.

How strange!

Got anything else you can photograph? :-P

I think some people like those tactile Mitsumi keyboards, but they're on my own "no" list too.

There's something in the mail...

I look forward to it!
