ADDS 1010

Switches

Keycaps

The keycaps are made out of PBT with dye-sublimated legends.

The keycaps for this keyboard use a medium ass enter key which is found only on a few terminal keyboards that NMB made. Also included on this keyboard is the rather strange arrangement of arrow keys. These arrow keys have very large arrows and a unique light blue colourway for the legend. 

Upper Case

The upper case is made out of a single piece of beige ABS plastic. The plastic is textured due to the molding process that is used to create the upper case. There is a raise top section to allow the user to put a macros label to remember custom macros for the ADDS terminal. 

Lower Case

The lower case is molded ABS plastic in a light beige colourway. The bottom case contains a cavity to fold away the single flip out foot that raises the keyboard. The cavity allows the keyboard to lay flat when the foot is folded away. The 

Switch Plate

The switch plate is made out of stamped steel. The plate is bent on either so that it can be mounted to the lower case. The plate is painted with a thin layer of black paint. The paint is then protected by a thin layer of oil to prevent rust.

PCB

The PCB is a double-sided PCB with all traces on the backside of the PCB. The controllers found on the PCB vary, some later models have been found with both Toshiba and Mitsubishi controllers.

Cable

This keyboard uses a RJ11 jack.
