Specs:
- SKCM Orange Alps
- Massdrop blue aluminum case
- Clueboard v2 PCB
- acrylic dual-layered plate
- Alps lock (Caps Lock)
- bottom row: 1.25u-1u-1.25u-6.5u-1.25u-1u-1.25u-arrows
- combination of AEKII and M0116 caps
- custom Zorberema Entling v2 in Alps
Now, for some notes:
- The board did not come in the layout I wanted, so, while the caps match what I wanted, it came with a more traditional layout. So Backspace still is in the top right, Control is still where Caps Lock (and vice versa for left full-touch Control) and the two top-rightmost keys
are Insert and Delete. These can be changed swiftly with QMK; however, I have no idea how to use QMK, and, since I never used the board, I never bothered to change the layout.
- The acrylic plate feels wonderful with the orange Alps, but there are a handful of thin cracks, mostly near the stabilized keys. These do not affect the feel of the board, and you won't even see them when all the caps are on (in fact, not even sure they're that noticeable, but I wanted to point them out anyway).
- There is some flex on the plate when pressing the bottom left of the keys, which is caused by the case. The case has no support for the plate/PCB, so there may be some slight flex/wobble. I was going to put maybe some tissue or something down there to ease it, but never bothered (again, never really used the board).
- During the few days I actually did use it, I noticed sometimes the left Shift and the ?/ key sometimes wouldn't register. I couldn't tell if it was me or the switches, but I am including four additional Orange Alps switches in case the new owner feels like swapping them out.
I'm also including the rest of the AEKII and M0116 caps which I didn't use for my layout.
Lastly, I'm throwing in the Zorberema Entling. It pains me to part with it--and, as far as I know, it's the only Alps Entling v2 outside of Zorb's personal stash--but I really do not foresee myself using Alps and have no need of the artisan. It's being thrown in for free with the bundle.

Has some shine. I purchased this from a user who stated he purchased it in the condition he sold it. The home row, some of the other vowels, Backspace, and 7u have the most shine. I myself used the TKL caps for about a few hours max. Includes extra space bars.
Already losing at least $20 from what I paid.

- Never used. Asking for what I paid plus a buck for shipping.
The board itself is in pristine condition. Didn't even have to clean it that much. However, all the labels, oddly, are missing. One of the legs is missing as well, but if you don't plan on propping it then it won't matter.
The only real issue is that left Control sticks depending on which caps you put on it. While most of the caps on this board are one-piece, that left Control is one of the few that's two-piece, so I was able to swap out the stem part for one that doesn't stick when pressed. I did notice that part of the barrel was a bit dented, so I tried putting it back to normal; didn't alleviate the issue for all caps placed on it, but the cap on it now has no sticking issue.
Comes with the original cable, which shows some signs of use from age and wear.
PS/2 keyboard w/ black (clicky) Space Invader switches. In very pristine condition. Was purchased from fohat who took really good care of it. I used it only a few times. Also part of the package is the Gloyz! artisan on the Esc (original Esc will be included as well). Don't see too many Space Invaders artisans.
