Title: Alps MCL-101 with box, currently $30 shipped
Post by: jacobolus on Sun, 01 June 2014, 21:12:19

I’m guessing white Alps switches (since it claims “audible key clicks” on the box; I think some later keyboards of the same model had black Alps switches) and double-shot keycaps (but not 100% sure). Bigass Enter key and small backspace.

Can't be doubleshot, and can't be NIB. The 'A', 'K' and 2,4,5,6,8 on numpad are wearing off.

After having used Matias, I'm pretty sure these would be too worn for me to want them even if they are white alps.

Good catch, not sure how I didn’t notice that; guess I didn’t look all that closely. :-)

Still a reasonable enough price, but not an especially great deal.

according to Rip's gallery the "audible click" might be bs?
