This is one of the most interesting keyboards I've seen in a while, although I have no idea whether it qualifies as a great find. Some alps and mac fans might like it. Looks practically new.

It is really a nice looking keyboard and it has a separated numeric pad. Awesome. It should be alps for sure.

Yeah that's an Alps (or Alps alike I don't remember for sure) keyboard. I think the spacebar for the Mac old style 1 mouse button is funny.

These popup once every few months, but this is by far the best looking and looks like NOS. Whoever buys this gets a nice wall decoration (has wallmounting holes below the keyboard :) ) or if he plans to use this, a much better keyboard than the plasticky crap we get now a days mechanical or not.

Clarifying that plasticky keyword, the Filco MJ2 I have comes nowhere in comparison to the AEK2 in rigidity even though I still love and use the filco.
