Parallel Sequence | Bought bc I wanted a tiny cherry board and it matches my setup (and has selectric inspired keycaps !!) Bsun raw tactile switches don't click and have a very light tactility that makes them almost feel like a membrane keyboard lol |
IBM Model M | Used on my main desktop. One of the best keyboards I've ever used with both an amazing feel, typing speed, and design. I have one other white badge with worn out switches and a blue badge with a terminal connector |
IBM XT Model F [SOLD] | The one pictured has the Farmers Insurance badge and keycaps. I have another in better condition though a foot peg handle is broken off |
Focus 2001 | White alps. Missing the obnoxious dust cover but I still have the supports for it. Good layout due to having both a big ass enter key and full size backspace, with pretty good white alps for switches. I believe this and the omnikey have at/xt switches |
Omnikey Ultra | Absolutely nuts layout. Second row of fuction keys, extra keys between ctrl and alt that could be mapped to windows. I don't think I would have any space left for my mouse if I use this, and the switches are a little crunchy because of how it was stored |
Smith Corona Acer | Weird switches that's half mechanical but instead of the switches being electrical, they hit a membrane underneath; similar to a model m but alps-like instead of buckling springs |
IBM Model M2 | Better feeling than a membrane but worse than an M. These are notorious for traces on the membrane going bad. I took it apart. I didn't fix it yet. Yeah |
M Battlecruiser | Got a few of these from a massive pile of 'em outside to try to make one good complete one. Some switches are bad, it's missing some keys, and its a little rusty inside. It's a little weird seeing a square badge M as well |
Zenith | Linear green alps. Very heavy board and has a layout similar to a model F but with a weird shaped enter key. |
Apple Keyboard | Linear alps. Interesting tiny layout with probably the smallest spacebar I own and a power(?) button in the top center |
Apple Extended II [SOLD] | Pretty standard board with linear alps. Cool riser underneath. I do not have any Apple Systems that I use. |
Kinesis Maxim [SOLD] | Could't test because the ps2 connector wouldn't go far enough into the port. It's not like my typing style benefits from ergonomic boards anyways |
NCR Cash register board | Membrane board. Not sure if it's xt or at or even any of the above but it is 5 pin din. Have cleaned it since taking the photo. Would be funny to game with this thing |
Zeos KB-6251/2 | White alps. "8088 - 80286" switch on the back. Decent layout and would make a good standard board or donor for the switches |
