Post by: Magna224 on Wed, 22 May 2013, 19:36:47

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ortek-Technology-Inc-Keyboard-/350799478640?pt=PCA_Mice_Trackballs&hash=item51ad473f70

An ortek was just listed on ebay recently. Figured some of you guys would be interested. Its my favorite ALPS keyboard. They should be type I white ALPS.

How does this compare with the SIIG Minitouch?

I like it much better. Just for the layout and switches though. Otherwise they're pretty close. Seriously guys you need to buy this. They used to go for over $100 and I just sold mine for $80. Are all the ALPS lovers dead? Or just waiting for a chance to strike?

Just got a notification that it should be here on the 30th. Pretty excited. I'm starting to dig on the ALPS.

Just came in today before I headed to work. The thing is a bit on the dirty side. I'll do some before/after pictures and throw them up in a topic in the proper forum. I'll be sure to link it here. :)
