Title: Anyone know anything about this keyboard?
Post by: Repress on Mon, 27 May 2013, 19:03:13

I was at a local thrift shop and picked this up on a whim, just wondering if it was worth keeping.
I dont know much about mechanical keyboards as i have used rubber dome's all my life but it sounded nice and clicky like you would expect a mechanical keyboard to.

The best way to find out if its mechanical is pull a keycap to find out what switches it has. Post a pic of them someone will help I.D. it.

Popped off a keycap and it seems they have White Alp Switches? it says  2a54 on the black portion underneath.

I knew that I had seen it before, so I went to look. Webwit over on Deskthority has posted about it (http://deskthority.net/keyboards-f2/ergonomic-or-split-alps-keyboards-t5113.html#p98593):

Just wondering, worth anything on ebay? I mean i got it for 5 bucks and they had several left. I personally dont care for ergonomic keyboards if its worth anything id go pick up the rest of them and sell them on ebay and pick up a different keyboard.
