Noice! This one should be yellow Alps. If anyone buys it and it's not that, please let me know :) .

$120..? Too rich for my blood

What's your opinion on those alps, chyros?

I don't actually own a yellow Alps board yet, so I couldn't say.

Looks awful. The one I had, with Green Alps, looked much better but was still underwhelming. Felt about as scratchy as MX and pinged like a mother****er.

The Dell bigfoot with early Black Alps that I linearised sounds better with no ping, and the switches are much, much smoother despite feeling a tad stiffer.

I can only imagine how filthy this thing is under the keys. It probably feels like typing with sand in the switches.
