KBK update for Friday, 5th February

Photographs have turned up depicting the reed variant of SMK JM-0400 series and SMK’s elastic contact type (covered for the moment under JM-0400 in order to have somewhere to list it). The elastic contact switch is unsurprisingly identical to Maxi-Switch’s elastic contact type (as found in a few TRS-80 Model 4 keyboards and seen exactly once in a single photograph), right down to the green pigmentation of the rubber dome. This strongly suggests that SMK manufactured those switches for Maxi-Switch. With that said, no SMK branding is visible in either instance, nor any indication of where either switch came from. The images were uploaded without a single word of description and no permission to comment on them.
