Post by: Kensy on Fri, 17 February 2012, 12:32:31

Hi guys, just a question on a vintage mechanical keyboard i gotten at a flea today.. it has no stickers of the brand or model somehow...its running on white alps switches, and at the back of the keyboard it was pasted with a warranty sticker with "Creative Technologies Pte Ltd"" has anyone has an idea what model it might be? Thanks a mil !


P.S Are keycaps on white alps switches hard to remove normally? As i had to pull quite hard to get the caps out tho.

Sweet, looks like the product of a Focus 2001 and a WYSE PCE getting in bed together! Apparently ALPS is autosomal dominant though, not a good sign.

I bet its OEM is the same as Focus / Northgate / Insert Generic ALPS Keyboard Here.
