Hey guys, found these at a garage sale for 18 each. Should I get them? Can I get some info on them? They are clicky similar to blue switches, but I can't pull of a key cap and tell which they are.

Your links go to your private google mail attachments. You should copy them over to an image hosting site like imgur.
-
Did u give links to your gmail? Pics would be easier for people who don't use gmail.

Sorry about that.
one says "portable PCIII"
another says "MCL MICRONORTH CO., LTD"

Those photos are tiny. I can't give you advice on whether or not to buy them, but would like to know what legends are on the caps in the first photo lol
-
Pop a cap on each, if they are alps or cherry, I'd say grab em.
Or press the switches, if they feel good, grab em. If they feel like crap, don't.

Korean. I'm not sure how to make them larger unfortunately. I think I'm going to grab the korean one, and I'll report back if I do.
-
Just do it, it's only $40 :D For both that is!

I think you just transferred the thumbnails to imgur instead of the actual pics.

Assuming you're in the us and the caps are dirty as hell, could you buy me one (Korean Hangul) and send me the caps? I can pay you whenever :)
Edit - Never mind. I want to see the legends in a bigger photo first, but I may request for you to back and get me some lol

No no, no hangul for this girl! You has enough already :p
-
I'd buy them both.

i would have bought them both and never told these keyboard addicts.

lol my reading comprehension is way off today. I actually thought OP said that there were 18 total keyboards in addition to them being $18 each.
9-bit let me know if you don't want the keycap set with Korean :)

lol this, but to be fair they'd get a bunch of switches for FREE :)
-
I think it's actually japanese. Sprung for that one. I'll post more pics in a bit.
I'm also having a hard time pulling off the caps with a plastic key cap puller. Any advice?

Do you have a wire puller? If not, I'd try some of the ones you haven't true yet. Maybe they'll be looser.
PS I want them even more if they have hiragana on them lol

They look nice, but ehhhh that's Chinese and I no longer want them lol
I can't wait to see what switches it has. Wait for others to give you suggestions for getting them off imo
-
Damn, that's too bad. Still no luck pulling them off.

What type of keyswitch is this?
-
Some kind of Alps switch
-
There's no label on the backs of either of these?
-
Is that a good deal for 20 bucks?
-
I'd buy an alps board with Chinese for $20!
-
You know I have to make a profit ;)
-
By the looks of it, cream alps.
-
$2! :D
-
$2! :D
lol This thread is/was fun :)

Looks like white ALPS to me. http://deskthority.net/wiki/Alps_SKCL/SKCM_Series
Those are some of the worst pics I've ever seen, btw. First we had no pics, then pics too small, then blurry. Whatever. I don't know how we're supposed to help when we can't see.

Take a picture of the switch with that kind of quality and it'll be indentifiable.

It's a white alps switch. Do the colors matter?

Yes, very much so. Different colours have different feels (linear, tactile, click) as well as different springs resulting in a different actuation force.

I see, didn't know anything about alps until now. I'll do a bit of research, thanks guys <3

A label without a part number. :-\
Not that much help, the FCC ID doesn't even come up in a search, only earlier models like GL233EKB-5161

Hm, anything else I should take a pic of? Thanks anyways.
