Recently I came across an interesting pair keyboard that were used in a KVM unit that slid into a server rack. I removed the keyboard portions and was surprised to see it was mechanical, with Cherry brown switches and doubleshot Devlin keycaps!
I have been thinking about ideas on how to convert these keyboards into a more desktop friendly package. The PCB and plate are easily removed from the housing, and the trackball is on a daughterboard. Right now I have one of the keyboards with Jolimon to have him try and make an acrylic plate that will fit the keyboard and trackball, but I am interested to see if anyone else has some ideas on how these could be made more usable?
I do not know much about Devlin caps, and I had not really heard of them till I came across this board. Here are some detail shots of the keycaps and more shots of the board that didn’t seem to make it into my original post.
