Vintage 1980s Intel Keyboard from Intellec MDS 225 Cortron ITW Magnetic
Switches
Electronics Recycling Angel [seller]
(19831)

The price is too high of course, not my point. Let's not fuss about it
here, don't blame me. It's interesting when these auction prices are
followed by prices half as much.

My point is, these are very nice identifying photos and details of the
keyboard and case and keyswitches. There are people who focus on
keyboard tech, who follow this sort of detail. I myself spend time on
keyboards and these details matter to my customers so they matter to me.

There's some reason for interest, some keyboards get hours of use daily,
right? And vintage computer owners like to have matching ancillary
items, and this isn't so ancillary for the MDS it supports.

Anyone who wants to make a work-alike keyboard, will also appreciate
these photos.

I'd call this an "uncommon" keyboard, I don't like to use the word
"rare" because people think that means "valuable" which it does not. But
these appear often enough that "rare" doesn't work in my opinion.

regards, Herb
