Talent Keyboard
Cherry MX Blue (PCB Mounted), Double Injection Keycaps, 1988
Another random budget eBay find. I was rather surprised when it turned out to be Cherry MX Blue switches. The switches are PCB mounted. I can't find any hints on the maker on the case or the PCB. The FCC id resolves to "Lin Ming Industrial Co Ltd" in Taiwan. It seems the keyboard was made in either 1987 or 1988 going by the FCC ID and a few mold markings on the case.
The keycaps are of high quality and probably modeled after Cherry Corp. ones. The "F" and "J" keys have the same scoped shape as original Cherry ones. They are as thick as the real deal, too.
The PCB has extra drill holes for stabilizers and switches, so that the board could be converted to US-ANSI layout rather easy.
