Title: Any info on this alps board, and is it worth it?
Post by: tobydeemer on Sun, 01 April 2012, 13:08:08

Hi all-

Does anyone have any further info on this board? I've done some searching, but can't find any real detail on what switches it might have. I'm looking to add another tactile (clicky or 'soft-click' preferred) board to replace a dead Dell Quietkey. Something with a little more tactility would be welcome, too.

I have two Model M's that are my regular drivers, but rotate between several. The Dell recently bit through no fault of its own, so I want to fill the gap.

Thanks in advance.

Yeah, Ripster, I've been reading your sig content for many months, learning lots of things. :D

I figured it was a little too good to be true on that Alps board. So I'm thinking this one instead, for not too much more dough:

Thanks again, guys.
