Now this is a cool keyboard. Not only does it utilize early Cherry MX Black key mechanisms, but it's also an infrared wireless keyboard replacement for the PCjr! As well as the "PC Senior," ha.
Been hoping to cover some keyboards like this for a while now, so lemme know if you'd like to see some more classic boards on LGR. Because, well, I have a ton and there's a surprising range when it comes to keyboards.
As an aside, I ended up having an odd amount of trouble getting this episode together. Not due to the keyboard, the keyboard itself works amazingly well. Just due to the hardware I was using to test it on video. Turns out I left my PCjr and XT in a halfway-complete state sometime in the past and forgot to complete the projects. Somewhere along the way I lost my PCjr power supply in my last move and the original ST-225 hard disk in the XT stopped working again. Both are complete machines again and all fixed now, but jeez, two weeks of side quests ended up ensuing all because I wanted to talk about a neat keyboard.
