I just ordered a Siig Minitouch with the Alps switches
and I was wondering who else made one?
Thank you

There was the Filco Zero, but those have been discontinued in the US for awhile now (they should still be available in Asia). They aren't a true "mini" like the Minitouch; they are just a numpad-less 'board.

I may have to save my pennies and order a second one as a spare then

Most of them are pretty rare, although there might be a few ortek's out there as I was able to find one.
I really want to find an Aron, or a Japanese Filco minitouch. ;)

The Alps are my favorite key switch.
Buckling springs would probably be my 2nd choice.
The cherrys are too high pitch for my liking.

With a bit of luck you can find a SMK-85, itīs strongman alps most of the times but I really likes them. They sound even better when I changed the thin flimsy keycaps to double shots from a NeXt keyboard.

That one looks interesting as well
