Keyboards

It's crammed full of Alps microswitch key-switches, and is about the nicest keyboard I've ever had. The keys have a lovely 'snap' action; probably not quite as good as an IBM Model M, but not bad. The Quietkey is an 'updated' version with - IIRC - a 'putty feel' membrane switch matrix. The AT101W is basically the same keyboard, but with a US key layout instead of the UK key layout on the AT102W. They're quite plentiful on eBay - AT102Ws are not. IIRC they came with some of the Dell servers and high-end desktops many moons ago... Poweredge GX2 maybe? Also, FWICT SiliconGraphics / SGI sold basically the same keyboard with the same model number (AT-101 or AT-102), but in a 'granite' style. Maybe that's what you've got, Dave? -- Phil. | (\_/) This is Bunny.
