Modern Blue ALPS Gaming KB?
« on: Sat, 17 September 2011, 20:18:23 »

I saw someone mention these casually in another thread and was wondering if there was any more info on them.  Maker?  Review?  Anyone have any hands on experience? They perked my interest.

I was watching one of these that ended earlier this week for $35 shipped. I could have won it, but I really don't need another full sized board lying around. Moral of the story, watch the one that's up for auction, don't necessarily jump on the BINs.

Risen from the dead for a model F.

Wyse buy colors were GSY for the dark grey, GBA for the light grey, and BBI for the fonts.

I;ve heard that its quite cheap feeling and IIRC (NOT POSITIVE) they are blue XM's. I know that the orange gamer set is a weird rubbery feel, making it different from the rest of the board, people have found it to be a nuisance while typing.

And it has that god awful large enter key. Oh, how I hate that thing...and for whatever reason, so many of the quality ALPS based keyboards have it. Drives me nuts.

I just have the L enter on my Zenith. I actually like it better than the regular enter on an ANSI or ISO. But the Enter on that board is disproportionately large.
