That looks nice alright, but the big L-shaped Enter key is a deal killer for me.  I've been using the long flat Enter keys for so long, I can't give in now.   :smile:

Are you bidding on it?

I actually grew up with the big-L enter key, so I've got no beef with it.

But I dunno if I'll get it. Still debating.

Looks to be a rebranded Nan Tan KB-6551.

Hardware in signatures clutters Google search results. There should be a field in the profile for that (again).

This message was probably typed on a vintage G80-3000 with blues. Double-shots, baby. :D

That's scary garcia's style.  The hacker thing. lol  I bought it. ;)  

He said it has true alps branded key switches, so I'm hoping they're not simplified.  I think this might be the most compact keyboard that doesn't use simplifieds.

Just in case anyone is wondering, it has real alps simplified switches.  He said he has another one.  I wonder if the nan tan is the same.  

The feel is definitely different from reals or fakes.  It has sort of an in between feel between complicated reals and fakes.  Not so clicky and hard to push as fakes, and a bit harder to push than real complicated.  Not a bad board.  It still fits on my little desk and is small at least.  Nice to have a semi compact board with a numpad in case I need it.
