Title: $60 USD Blue ALPS "Gaming" Keyboard?
Post by: Shogunner on Wed, 28 March 2012, 08:40:09

Browsing eBay, I stumbled upon this thing. I couldn't find anything about it anywhere else. It's apparently some sort of unbranded gaming keyboard that uses ALPs Blue switches.

Anyone have any information on this thing?

Reminds me of a Plasti-Dipped Focus FK-2001 without the cover. But no, I know nothing about it.

I wouldn't buy it, I never trust no name brands and usually cheap=low quality.

If you want to buy them, get them from Amazon. They're $45.

Although I'm not into "gaming" keysets, feels kinda stupid to have extra grippage on a key.

Hahaha.

They tried putting these on NR auctions a few months ago, ended up getting around $30 average each.

Coincidentally, someone write a review on it today/just now, though it is in Chinese, LOL...
So if you are interested, you need to create an account of that forum and then log in to see those pictures of it.
