With what other kinds of switches were MiniTouch keyboards of this layout made?

XM Alps

I personally hate XMs. I wish I could get a phantom with Blue Montereys, they feel great.

I love blue Montereys.

When the seller put up the ebay listing a few months ago for "more than 10" NIB at a low BIN price, I could only afford one of them.

I posted it here and they were all gone in 2 hours.

If I ever find some at a lower price I would definitely stock another one of these

Personally, I like the XM Minitouch better. One of the best XM boards IMO. The Montereys are meh, I like the ALPS compatible round SMKs much more, although they are pretty much the same internally.

The Brits do type more than us, I guess.
