Those do look like fake cherry clears. Post a photo of the underside of the cap.

These switches are fun :) I own one branded as optimus :) These are fake clears (no space for the LED and no branding on the switch). Unfortunatelly their fun and loud click dissappears after a while. You can easily convert this board to MX as it is compatible (pins and size of the switch is the same).

I think they are called aristotle switch. Stems are tiny bit smaller than original cherry, which makes the caps tight on original stem. I converted mine to MX black.


Great board for modding:) grats :)

Turkish, don't see that much. Is it doubleshots or only printed?

Looks suspiciously like dyesub, but I'll wait for pics.

Fake clicky Cherrys. Aristotle Cherry MX.

I have had a keyboard very much like it, same layout and switches, which had doubleshot-moulded keycaps in OEM profile. The switches are a little bit more tactile that Cherry MX Blue. I have heard that they are not very durable, I never used mine very long.

okan: got a rear label shot? Nan Tan using non-Alps/Alps clone is probably not new to me, but it's pretty rare.

Ah, here's one:

http://park10.wakwak.com/~jpspace/key/kaitai_kwd601.html

NEC-branded Unikey KWD-601, with Windows keys. That confirms what I was reading from alps.tw that these switches were still in production fairly late on.

Interestingly, the controller IC is from Chicony. So: NTC keyboard, Unitek FCC ID, completely new model number series, and Chicony controller. Weird.

(This was already listed on the wiki, but possibly just before I got my NTC KB-6251EA, so I may not have been able to made the connection at the time.)
