Don't forget to watch the video if you haven't! The embeds thing on this forum seems rather borked so I put a link as well :) .

Finished watching the video, that is a very cool board indeed! It's the best condition Blue Alps board I think I've ever seen - there must be very few left in that good a state.

Cheers mate! Maybe I'll make some pictures and upload them to the wiki sometime :) .

I think the mini-reviews are kind of misleading people xD . It seems that quite a lot of people can't view the videos so they think that the text is the actual review, rather than just a very short summary - the review is obviously the video xD .

It will be in my next video. In it, I'll be comparing several Alps switches.

Wow, a mint condition ANSI layout blue Alps board, what a treat!

Looks like it sat in a box for all those years, so it never got filled with dust/grit.

Too loud for the office? Pshaw!
