Skip to 10:29 for a typing demonstration.
Today we look at the oldest keyboard in my collection; the 50-year-old Micro Switch 53RW4-1 with magnetic reed switches! Yes, before they did Hall effect, they made these switches too. Hope you enjoy this blast from the past!

I'm Thomas and I do videos and reviews on mechanical keyboards ranging from the most sickening modern RGB gaming keyboards to vintage hardware relics, or sometimes keycaps or keyswitches ranging from Cherry MX to Alps SKCM to IBM buckling springs and anything in between.

The practice sentence was: "Hello my name is Thomas and I'm typing on a Micro Switch magreed keyboard right now. What a great little piece of history this thing was, I like it a lot!"
