jrhodes Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Thats good to hear. The unit actually is here now, but no time to test it yet. Life, and all that. Hopefully over the weekend i'll dive into it and see what we really have. I did take a close, in person look at the unit, and yeah, i am definitely seeing white, not camera glare. Also, none of the keys click like i'm use to, except for when engaging the alpha-lock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrhodes Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 (edited) I did not take pictures when i had the new TI apart (had to remove the cart port's "cleaning-pad"), but it is definitely not a Mitsumi. The key-side of the board has a whitish color to it. Keys are mounted to white plastic sockets. The keyboard works OK, but i'm not liking the quiet, spongy feeling; i'm use to clicky sounds and stiff keys when i type. The alpha-lock is terrible; Engaging it requires literally bottoming out the key, all the way down. Disengaging it gets you no click. It only clicks when it engages. While i like the keyboard on my other TI better, i can tell it is starting age. I'm starting to get unintentional duplicates on my H and Space, but thankfully these repeats don't happen often, as of yet. I'll have to see about giving it good contact cleaning, may give it another year or so of use. Edited December 14, 2019 by jrhodes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+chue Posted Wednesday at 03:29 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 03:29 AM Mitsumi in black? I believe so, based on an earlier posting in this thread. Ok, confirmed - there's the mitsumi sticker: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ti99iuc Posted Wednesday at 06:32 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 06:32 AM In Italy (but in Europe anyway) beige ti99 are pretty rare to see. The ti99 here Is Always been the silver one and the kayboard mitsumi black Is very common. 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
