Just do http://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=43 or pchome and wait weeks haha. $58 from mechanical keyboards is a pretty good deal for not having to deal with customs.

not really.

this board feels a lot cheaper than it's price. i was scared to pull the keycaps off thinking the whole board would come off

Try this:

They have sales for $33 quite often, during the weekend. They deliver pretty fast.
The quality of this Chinese keboard is very low, though.

I'd rather just pick it up for Mechanicalkeyboards.com for a few bucks more if I were to buy it new.  I'm hoping someone wants to rid of theirs on the cheap and will make me an offer.

I traded mine off long ago. The typing experience is not bad, but the keys do feel a bit wobbly. Like demik said, when you take the keycaps off, it feels like the whole board may come apart. I think for Alps, I'm going to go with an SGI or Dell AT-101W.

People seem to overlook Acer when going Alps.  The Acer switches are alps compatible but have great clickiness, I love my Acer.

They are not mechanical. Acer has a membrane.

Model Ms have a membrane I'm not sure why that makes it non-mechanical.

I fail to see your point, also you're wrong.

I agree with jdcarpe and demik.  I used to own one of these, and while the green Alps were nice and clickedy clackedy, the keyboard itself felt like a cheap toy.
