===Silitek=== [[Silitek dome with slider]]: slider over individual [[rubber dome]]s with conductive rubber on PCB. Silitek as an OEM is not confirmed, but the keyboards match Silitek's patented switch design. The keycap mount is a cruciform mount. It is slightly bigger than Cherry MX making it incompatible. Keycaps are double-shot light grey with brown letters, or on the Atari Falcon: dark grey with light letters. Most keys have cylindrical profile except for the backwards-L [[Return key]] which has a spherical profile. The key feel is very mushy (at least today) and the keys are wider than standard (which can impair typing accuracy). Confirmed to be integrated within the Atari ST FM,<ref>Atari-Forum β [http://www.atari-forum.com/viewtopic.php?t=26883 {{sq|PICS}} Keyboard LED replacement]</ref> and Atari STe but also reported to be the type found in the Atari 520 ST, 1040 ST, STF, STFM and Falcon.<ref>eBay β {{volatile|[https://www.ebay.ie/itm/-162910642104 Atari 520 1040 ST STF STFM STE Falcon keyboard Letter Plunger And Connector]}}</ref> In integrated computer cases the case screws can be identified by being in square holes where as other screws are in circular holes. <gallery widths=250 heights=187> File:Atari ste-keys and pcb.jpg | PCB and barrel plate separated File:Atari ste-keyboard back.jpg | Back of keyboard (after reassembly) File:Atari ste-key parts.jpg | Looks like a variation of [[Silitek dome with slider]], doesn't it?
