After some inspiration from Hypersphere I decided to do a dedicated thread to my Packard Bell T9102 :)
There isn't too much discussion about the T9102 especially versus contemporary Blue Alps keyboards like the DC-3014. Only a couple of people have these. I love this keyboard, it has everything a person would want in a mechanical keyboard. Blue Alps, ANSI layout, doubleshot caps and a metal backplate with a great build quality to boot :D I found it on craigslist, it was still bundled with its original computer system. I convinced the guy to sell me it to me separated and he shipped it to me a couple hours south. It had some surface grime, but besides that it was in fantastic condition. Cleaned up super well.
This keyboard fit's late into the Blue Alps timeline. It has top logos and short white switchplates unlike most.

Sit's very flat without the feet, and very tall with them. You can see where they shaped the case just for them at the bottom.

Oh they have SHORT switchplates, even? Man, these need to go into the wiki. Thanks for the post!
