There are a few that use Acer switches.
Alcatel (Acer 6313-KW) (http://geekhack.org/showthread.php?t=13991)
Alcatel branded MFII board (http://geekhack.org/showwiki.php?title=Island:6576)
The Acer switches have ALPS-compatible key stems, are clicky. They feel somewhat like White ALPS, but perhaps with more friction, especially if you press a key off-center. People have also reported that they would be somewhat inconsistent in feel. On some boards they activate before the click -- on others after the click, and sometimes depending on how hard you type.
