Yeah, not BS people. Seen a few of them around the past few years. I forgot, were these alps green or something? I think these were linear.
And these are NOT compatible with PS/2 or AT. They were JX proprietary. The seller is wrong, it is not PS/2 compatible.

I'll PM the seller about that.

Liner alps according to the DT wiki

Should be doubleshot. If it's compatible with modern ALPS, I'd call this the dolch kit of the ALPS world :p

I mean, if it works with modern ALPS, it'd really spruce up an ABS M1 or matias, or that ducky....
