Title: [ebay] Clevo rebranded Alps keyboard
Post by: calavera on Thu, 06 June 2013, 00:39:53

Not sure if it's a great deal but I think it's interesting because you don't see ergonomic alps keyboards that often.
Simplified (grey) alps is my guess and I'm pretty sure these are just printed key caps. But nonetheless, I find it quite interesting and couldn't resist.
Seller accepted my offer so I bought one.

Clevo (Chicony KB-7000, Reveal KB-7061) (http://www.ebay.com/itm/181149783336?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2648)

I will update once I get it next week. In the meantime, fellow Alps brothers chime in. :)

A very cool keyboard. I'm tempted to get one, especially because of the potential to add Matias new switch to it.

I'm not even mad dude.  Doubleshot strongman alps split board?  Smexy

I got the board today and I actually really like the clicky grey alps. They're simplified clones but clicky. The springs seem to be the lightest I have typed on compared to all the other alps I've tried so far. I actually think once lubed a little, these will be even better to type on.

The keycaps are not double shots though, pad printed. The keyboard itself is lighter than I expected. Overall though, awesome purchase.

Tempted to get one just for the caps...

wut.. they're pad printed thin key caps. One of the flaws IMO.

Beats the ducky dk1087xm caps in my opinion...
