You gotta love Soviet-era gear. @chyrosran22 offers a peek behind the Iron Curtain with the -- we swear this is the real name -- TC7063.02.A003.01, which has magnetic reed switches. https://t.co/gIE8KIEm8U

Hmmm a nicely compact split keyboard? You have my interest. Also, Mistel is a brand you may not have heard of before. @mistel_kbs @chyrosran22 #splitkeyboard https://t.co/B4rTUf59Ht

[KeyChatter.com @keychatter]

Mm, @chyrosran22 had us at "bigfoot". This big, heavy, old, IBM giant has capacitive buckling springs. #ibm #ModelF https://t.co/FqQ2gIEU6s

This classic was the companion for the original Macintosh computer. And it's loaded with Alps SKCC switches. Behold the Apple M0110! @chyrosran22 https://t.co/bRgBO0tHjY

Sometimes @chyrosran22 swears in his videos, but this one needs a parental advisory. Blame the SafeType Vertical #ergonomickeyboard and its wings and mirrors and #$@%$@ I'm now doing it just from typing that. Have a watch: https://t.co/RwaMjaS9uE

An old favorite of gamers--for the PC it was built for back in the '80s. The NEC PC-8801 keyboard, with blue Alps switches. @chyrosran22 https://t.co/g9GrUv0sAy

[KeyChatter.com @keychatter]

With a different sort of aesthetic than its usual retro looks, @AzioCorp 's #Fokal keyboard has a detachable numpad and a multifunction knob. And two other knobs. It's knob-tastic, really. https://t.co/dAqPPFpbyl

[KeyChatter.com @keychatter]

Yes yes, the ergonomics. But the @UltHackKeyboard has a lot more going on. @chyrosran22 breaks it all down. #UHK https://t.co/Zg8Si8DYFz

[KeyChatter.com @keychatter]

Wondering about that #GeniusKnob on the Drevo Blademaster TE? @chyrosran22 details it all. @DREVO_US

This week's @chyrosran22 review involves rare and delicious Amber Alps switches on an Apple IIc...and a bonus custom chassis. #AlpsSwitches #AppleIIc #vintagekeyboards https://t.co/Do13yIT6NG

[KeyChatter.com @keychatter]

@benfrain Nope. The contacts I had dropped off the face of the Earth. (Not literally. As far as I know.) @PFU_HHKB may enlighten us both, though.

In which @chyrosran22 gets to play with a new old stock Epson Q703A keyboard--with Fujitsu leaf spring generation 2 switches. https://t.co/CVIzl3bnmL

[KeyChatter.com @keychatter]

We went sleuthing (and speculating) to figure out who makes the #opticalswitches in the new #RazerBladePro15. @Razer @Bloodygaming are we close? https://t.co/bgDUtApAfn

[KeyChatter.com @keychatter]

Using even more swears than normal, @chyrosran22 is blunt in his takedown of the DataLux Space Saver keyboard. https://t.co/wcmdpDYCgm

[KeyChatter.com @keychatter]

So @LogitechG is on the swappable switch socket train. Use any pin-compatible switches you want on the #LogitechGProX keyboard. Comes with GX (cough, @KailhSwitch , cough) switches to start you off. https://t.co/8Xm0u1Qat7

[KeyChatter.com @keychatter]

With the opening of the #WootingTwoLekkerEdition preorder, @WootingKB is taking a big step forward. Its own keyboard and switches together, enabling #analoginput with #HallEffect technology. https://t.co/PvP6bNUA9B

[KeyChatter.com @keychatter]

The SteelSeries Apex Pro uses #HallEffect switches and analog sensing. Thomas spends nearly half an hour telling you all about it in exquisite detail. @chyrosran22 @SteelSeries #ApexPro #Omnipoint #mechanicalkeyboards https://t.co/PRd4ky6QLT

[KeyChatter.com @keychatter]

Is that a modem or a keyboard? The AT&T 56K is a large, 122-key vintage keyboard that has #IBMModelM-like buckling springs. #mechanicalkeyboards @chyrosran22 https://t.co/Eea37Q0GaS

[KeyChatter.com @keychatter]

Golly, those #RazerLinearOptomechanical switches on the #RazerHuntsmanTE are light/shallow...40g, 1mm actuation. They sound tough to type on. Otherwise, hey neat, doubleshot PBT caps and standard bottom row. https://t.co/H76lxbuJ8g

[KeyChatter.com @keychatter]

@MKeyboards @DuckyChannel Thanks MK! One of these days I'll be within shouting distance of Nashville and will swing by the shop...

[KeyChatter.com @keychatter]

We know, it's just a #Ducky keyboard with different pants, but the #MKTypist is ideal for boring people who just want a great tool. And it's really affordable. @MKeyboards @DuckyChannel https://t.co/zPwLVTaztq
