Fujitsu leaf spring
Salvaged by u/NintendoDuck from a recycling center: a cool Fujitsu keyboard of unknown origin.
Published May 30, 2022
Not much info on this one:
Another trip to the recycling center. (Cable was cut off) (fujitsu leaf spring) – NintendoDuck.
Anyway, gorgeous layout and details: eight keys with roman numerals (e.g. III-VIII in the navigation cluster), a SMALL key (an anti-caps-lock?), triple zero key, relegendable function keys, etc.
A sticker reveals it was manufactured in May 1985 by Fujitsu, model: M5053KB14, part no.: D04L-1052-0065.
According to a comment, it resembles the FACOM 9450-II, but feel free to help out the lucky bastard if you have a more educated guess what computer this keyboard belonged to:
Anyone have any information about this keyboard or what sort of computer or device it came from? It has Fujitsu leaf spring switches but I can find no other information.
