lol at a keyboard that dies after a paltry four years circa-1990 AEK II on my primary workstation still going strong in TYoOL 2018 I fully expect it to make it to 30 years

Was it the daughter board that sits above the arrow keys? As long as it wasn't the main board, to which all the key switches are soldered, it's probably worth it

sort of. depends on which one you get, i think. both of mine have the damped keys, which are ok. they're better than a membrane keyboard and quiet enough to use at work. but they're not a joy to use like the adb keyboard (iigs). looks like the aekii and adb both can have salmons (idk whats in my adb) but i dont have one of those. COACHS SPORT BAR posted:I love(d) the poo poo out of my AT101W with alps but cherry clears/greens are easily as good no clicky cherry is as nice as the complicated whites i have in my northgate at home, although i havent tried greens. maybe i will, if you say they're that good all the models m i have tried have been worn out sticky garbage. ill give them a chance if i find a good one

If you like blues, greens are just a better version for anyone who is a moderate to hard typist. If you don't like blues, or you're a very light typist, greens may be a bit much.

going through some of my storage tonight, I found another couple of my spare Apple Extended Keyboards II one was a Made in USA © 1989 model without the little S in the lower right corner, meaning it uses the original undamped ALPS switches the other was a Made in USA © 1990 model with the corner S indicating damped ALPS switches the difference is noticeable, the damped switches are much quieter, the undamped switches are loud and a lot closer in feel to the original Apple Extended Keyboard neither is as nice as my several Made in Japan © 1989 models with Mitsumi switches, though, they’re by far the most comfortable to use someone should dump & disassemble the ROMs from the keyboard microcontroller so we can learn what’s different between the 1989, 1990, and 1995 variants

my cheapo mechanical keybaors is starting to get shiny spots on the keys so I guess it's time for a new one. I'm looking at the kinesis freestyle edge and it can come with reds and is $219.
