Post by: ed_avis on Wed, 04 October 2017, 05:13:55: http://www.ebay.com/itm/282671982335

Any idea what this is?

(Seller wrongly lists as KB-M105 but the label says KB-M102)

Model years 2006-2012. Or I may have mistyped something, I'm trying out a new layout.

So I feel confident in saying that no, this is not a mechanical keyboard. Rubber dome at best, cheap DVD player for a mediocre SUV at worst.

Yes, but it's a 7-inch Mitsubishi Pajero DVD player with rubber domes.

Post by: rich1051414 on Thu, 21 December 2017, 19:43:12: I came across one today. It has Monterrey dome with sliders, one of the best rubber domes. Very tactile. The best thing about this keyboard though is the double shot alps keycaps, which was why I even grabbed it, but I could totally type on it and not have a single complaint.

A big bonus is the keycaps were designed for a proper alps keyboard, with the proper stabilizer mounts, even though the keyboard doesn't even use most of them. Downside is the bigass enter though.
