Title: file under: Horrible Finds (I think?)
Post by: AKmalamute on Tue, 22 October 2013, 18:46:10

so, this keyboard (http://www.ebay.com/itm/ALPS-DOKIU-SAVER-COSTOM-KEYBOARD-Tenkeyless-85-key-The-only-one-in-the-world-/281192922512?pt=PCA_Mice_Trackballs&hash=item4178677d90) ... it's just a home-built TKL / WKL with scavanged ALPs, right?

Someone tell me there's no possible reason why any human being would drop a grand onto a keyboard when they could pay a professional to build a second one in the world for half what the first one is going for.

Weird.

I know that green Alps are prized by some, but that LED near the arrow keys (Caps Lock, right?) is really ugly and insensitive.

So if "NumLock" is "Windows" then why not find a Windows logo. At that price, anyway. When selling cheap you can slap anything on there.

I hear the sound of a certain stringed instrument in the background. Oh man, do I hear a violin?

Looks nice, but why so much for ALPS ?

Lol....price is way too high. It should be priced more around the $500 mark.
