Hey just found out what it was.

It is a Topre style key.

Did some research and found it! :D

Since I just got into the Mechanical business and such 1-2 months ago, I am still a noob.

Anyway I work in the hospital Technical Department, while I was installing some cables, I stumbled upon an old room, which happens to be a storage for multiple stuff, which they plan on throwing away.

 

I am talking about unopened IBMs with flip switches, HP servers, server racks, Cisco network switches and massive amounts of old peripherals.

 

I googled and I failed.

 

Anyone help me tell me what type of keyboard this is?

 

Key Tronic

Model Number: E03623QLDK-C

(I think the letters at the end are not important, since DK most likely stands for the Danish layout, which it is.)

Command Center:

Case: Corsair 900D; PSU: Corsair AX1200i; Mobo: ASUS Rampage IV Black Edition; CPU: i7-3970x; CPU Cooler: Corsair H100i; GPU: 2x ASUS DCII GTX780Ti OC; RAM: Corsair Dominator Platinum 64GB (8x8) 2133MHz CL9; Speaker: Logitech Z2300; HDD 1: Samsung 840 EVO 500GB; HDD 2: 2x Samsung 540 EVO 500GB (Raid 0); HDD 3: 2x Seagate Barracuda 3TB (Raid 0); Monitor 1: LG 42" LED TV; Monitor 2: BenQ XL2420TE; Headphones 1: Denon AH-D7000; Headphones 2: Audio-Technica AD1000PRM; Headphones 3: Sennheiser Momentum Over-Ear; Headset: Steelseries Siberia Elite; Keyboard: Corsair Strafe RBG; Mouse: Steelseries Rival 300; Other: Macbook Pro 15 Retina (Mid-2014), PlayStation 4, Nexus 7 32GB (2014), iPhone 6 64GB, Samsung Galaxy S6 64GB

Can you link me where you found this information? I have strong doubts they're Topre. All what I found are capacitive switches which are membranes or something that involves one.

I also found they're all very cheap. If they were Topre switches they would be selling at a massive loss (~200%+), and I don't know a single successful business model that doesn't make a single dime.

Well could be, but I just looked at Topre switches (Wikipedia) and saw that the Key Tronic keyboard is the same.

 

Also these were sold in bundles to the IT and Technical Department in our National hospital.

By no means a consumer purchase.
