Hideous but interesting bizarro ALPS board with built-in speakers
« on: Fri, 29 May 2015, 04:24:18 »


Odd and ugly beast with built-in speakers AND mechanical switches.  Not sure why exactly I'm posting this...  :-)

Are those actually Alps switches? Never seen them before.

Nope, it's not Alps. I forget the switch type, but it's not Alps.

Those speakers look like someone put Kinesis wrist pads on the wrong side. :)

Those look pretty similar to Futaba switches, but the top housing looks different than ones I've seen.  Certainly looks to be mx compatible caps. Wonder how think they are.  I'm assuming thin pad printed ABS, but they look nice.

What I really would like to know though is how banging the sound is from the speakers.

Also Snarfangel you are spot on with that lol.  I can never un-see that now.

Not at all. Opposite of MX, with stem being female as opposed to male.

I wonder if a Topre stem can be fitted in place of those stems. Look to be of similar size. Maybe a 101/103U could be fitting into this somehow?

You are right.  I'm to sleepy to be posting on the forums lol.  I even have a keyboard with the same type of keycap right by me :(.  Thx for the correction.

And it's ISO, of course.

It's ISO, in a US layout, with German control keys, and extra Cyrillic legends. Perfectly reasonable.

Guys, do you have a clue about the switches. I might be able to buy one, but I am unable to find any info :(
To me it looks like rubber dome ... but?
