This one is completely new and unused - an Acer Accufeel63166312 with Acer Black switches - basically what you get if you put the top parts of an Alps clicky switch over a rubber membrane (similar idea to the IBM Model M, but far lighter). Looking forward to typing with this for a while, if only because it's ISO and I far prefer that to ANSI (or big-ass enter monstrosities).What year was this made ? Does it work with both XT and AT ? I saw one for sale stating it did but no picture of a switch to change modes. Just curious if I passed on a good deal...
XT? Not likely - see those Windows keys. Can't find a production date, but it's not older than 1995 and I suspect a year or two younger than that. It has a PS/2 connector and no switches, so most likely AT-PS/2 only. If your option was also a 6312TW-4U (not -16, I got my numbers mixed up 😮 ) you didn't miss anything. On Deskthority there's an identical unit which apparently has a 1997 date on the controller IC.
Older Acer keyboards up to the 6012 did have the XT option.
