The Antec has simplified ALPS... the kind with the narrow click leaf. I have an ADB model with windows keys, it's quite strange.

The antec one looks pretty similar to the filco "tsubasa" I think it was that was on ebay recently.

Maybe it's a rebranded filco?

EDIT:

Yeah, it's gotta be, take a look the layout on the antec:

And on the filco:

Other than the enter key of course, but that changes by area(filco looks like an eastern layout).

And the cutaway at the top for the f keys as well as the fact that they're both some form of white ALPS.

It should also have those ALPS mounted on a plastic plate instead of metal. Makes for a surprisingly pleasant typing experience.

I was just thinking this afternoon that it would be great if there were a keyboard that had this and I wondered if there were any!  How cool, I wonder what it feels like?

EDIT: Lol, I realized my Minitouch has that, which is probably why I like it so much!

I would love to know more about this keyboard. Could a cable be made by simply patching a PS2 and ADB (s-video) cable together?  

 Also, I think the manufacturer is Stongman or SMK. Here's some info from the back of the 'board:

  Model No. KF-91R
 Ver. 1.2a
 FCC ID: KM988KKB8851
