Anyone know more about this model? Looks to my eye like it could be an alps board... Hard to tell with no serial obvious though.

Pretty sure it's BTC dome with slider, if not, just rubber domes.

I have a similar board here (Viewmaster Brand).  MX Compatible stems, but the stabilizers are funny.  The large escape key makes it easy to ID.

Note that although BTC are most well-known for the 1.25 u escape key, several other companies also employed it on some models ;) .
