@aescling @amy @vaporeon_ i don't lkjow what i read the first time ignore my previous two toots

@aescling @amy @vaporeon_ the double negatives and the fact that i cannot tell who this is a reply to makes this toot utterly incomprehensible to me

@vaporeon_ i was not aware, i just googled until i found something useful lol

@vaporeon_ it seems these keyboards shipped directly with the computers so they were tightly coupled whatever company/purpose the computer was built for, so they added keys for industry-specific purposes

@vaporeon_ its not quite the same model but i think its appropriate.

bitsavers.org/pdf/ibm/3178/GA1

go to page 44. This specific model has a "RESET" key instead of an "ENTER RESET" but I suspect they accomplish the same thing.

The web page bitsavers.org/pdf/ibm has links to dozens and dozens of manuals for various IBM devices, which i suspect you may find interesting given your love of old technology, given you have the patience to click through a gazillion links

@vaporeon_ i am trying my damndest to figure out what that key is and I CAN'T FIND OUT its driving me CRAZY

@vaporeon_ they're expensive as shit over here too so i think the wiki is out of date

@vaporeon_ enthusiast subreddits can be really good for this sort of info. it would not shock me at all if a mechanical keyboard subreddit had a wiki of recommended products organized by budget range

@vaporeon_ so not a helpful approach given how youtube is behaving for you these days i guess

@vaporeon_ if im not mistaken i searched on youtube for mechanical keyboard recommendations and some techy youtube man made a list and for their budget option they suggested the one i have now and i was like "sure ill give that a shot"
