After our ‘success’ with the Soviet mouse, we just HAD to try out this keyboard when we spotted it on eBay! Imagine our surprise when we spotted the same model in the ruins of Chernobyl!

In the intro, Linus mistakenly adds 'Soviet' when expanding the acronym C.S.S.R. which should be simply 'Czechoslovak Socialist Republic'. Additionally, there are comments stating that this keyboard couldn't have been used at Chornobyl. We can't be 100% sure, of course. The photo of the KB in the ruins comes from www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/73ej6l/i_visited_ch…

i clicked because linus was on the left
-
No. There was no such thing as Czechoslovak Soviet Socialist Republic. It was the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic. The first "S" in the acronym stood for Slovak. It can get confusing, and it is admittedly unusual, but that's how this particular acronym worked.
-
Someone needs to make "Strč prst skrz krk" brand and sponsor LTT so he has to say it at least 3 times in segue
-
Although Zbrojovka Brno was closed, their parent company, CZ still exists, still makes guns and now owns Colt.
-
so much energy in the keyboard you don't even have to plug it in
-
Poslouchat, jak Linus vyslovuje Brno, je velmi zajímavá zkušenost.
-
Fun fact: I work at the location that this keyboard was made (sorta). It's now called Nova Zbrojovka and it's a major redevelopment site. Most of the factories and old buildings have been demolished and new office space has been build in their place, or turned into curling halls (very Canadian) or rented as space for events (we had a really cool company party there last year). Really cool to see the area mentioned here.
-
This keyboard was really made for typing rather than gaming. Czech is using latin alphabet and QWERTZ keyboard layout. The keyboard with Cyrillic letters was made specially for Soviets.
-
Fun fact: Commodore International, the company that made the Commodore 64 game console in the 80s, sold typewriters in its early days and imported Console typewriters from Brno starting in the late 50s. So that keyboard has tangential gaming heritage.
-
This is the sort of video I would really like to see a more in-depth version of. I want to see more of how you analyzed the signals with the oscilloscope, more about the service manual and schematics, and more about how you programmed your microcontroller to translate the signals.
-
It's so funny to me as Czech person how Linus is so confused over how to pronounce Zbrojovka and that Brno's football team is named after it
-
Hellos from the Czech republic! Correction: There was no Czechoslovak SOVIET Socialist Republic, there WAS the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic. Czechoslovak Socialist Republic was in the Warsaw pact but NOT the Union.
-
Brno is a town in the Czech Republic, towards its border with Austria.
-
Fun fact: Tesla company (the OG one) still in business had plant in town Rožnov pod Radhoštěm which was sold and is one owned by Onsemi, an American semiconductor company which couple weeks back announced they picked our country for investment of 2 billion dollars for R&D and production of their chips.
-
A dream came true, Linus talking about Czechoslovak Tesla.
-
I swear somebody intentionally told Linus the worst way to pronounce Zbrojovka Brno just to troll him.
-
ČSSR does not stand for "Czechoslovak Soviet Socialist Republic" but for "Czecho Slovak Socialist Republic"
-
I love how in depth this went, love the new lab kid, would love to see more like this.
-
If this keyboard was built in 1989, it has absolutely zero chance of being deployed at Chernobyl.
