Title: Alps ME595-XX and ME59521
Post by: o0002 on Wed, 11 February 2015, 13:42:48

Evening All,

I came across some interesting keyboards today. Both made by Alps, would you believe it. I had no idea they made their own keyboards! But apparently they do. Only thing is I can't pull off the caps to check if they are mechanical. Google searches aren't providing any answers unfortunately. Has anyone else come across these:

Alps ME595-xx
Alps ME59521

Thanks

Why not?

I didn't buy them because I wanted to check if they were mechanical first.
