lol... like this can get a working mechanical KB, really dam lucky la u...

Anyway... if it is cherry KB should be not and issue for finding new keycap for the alphabet but ur "Enter" key is trouble to find replacement

Probably won't be the oldest keyboard in this forum.
Some ppl here having vintage keyboard fetish. Thus having some vintage keyboard as collection.

Somemore, any IBM Model M should be older than it.

indeed +1

Never knew mech keyboards existed ages ago

In fact, keyboard first existed as mechanical keyboard. Till the revolution and take over by rubber-dome due to the cheaper to be made to cut cost.

In early years of PC being commercialized(around 80), PC could easily cost over 10k. Keyboard and other computer parts cost over 300-400 around then.

ffuuuu...free ones!

yeh i remembered last time dad bought a set for more than 5k..i remembered the keyboard is very clicky
but it's in sabah...TAT hope they wunt throw it away

If your place having any e-waste recycling program, i suggest pay a visit to it and test your luck if can find anything valuable. Most probably nobody will know that "gold" may exist in those waste.

I think this is an inevitable cycle that will befall on everything...
For example, the vegetables, first they were all grown with organic fertilizers, then as time advances and demand increases, switch to chemical and genetic modification to get more yield, after the technology becomes close to mature, then all complain it is not healthy and demand the old school method, thus reverting back to organic...
Games also, first are simple, low end graphic games, then becomes more and more complex with high resolution graphics... and now... those games that most people ( i mean the majority, not the gamers....) are those simple, low graphics flash games... or those mini games....

So i think this is natural.... for keyboards... no exception... first is mechanical, then need to jack up production and reduce costs, go rubberdomes... and now.... goes back to good old vintage mechs....


not here to brag about understanding or intelligence, just to share some thoughts with you guys...

Even fashion also going back to vintage... lol

back to future you mean ah? hahaha

Now i know what is mechanical keyboard Cool

I wonder where can I find good seller that has Ducky 9008S MX Blue Switch.. I'm at Shah Alam btw... Any good seller recommendation?

sha alarm nearest seller will subang modernos/modernas???

Sorry that currently we don't have a reseller at Shah Alam yet.
By base on distance calculation, the closes avail to your place is PJ Digital Mall C-zone or Subang jaya at ModernoPC, heavy arm Garajestore
But we shall have reseller locate at Klang soon. So that should be closer to you compare to PJ
