Alps board in engineerguy youtube video?
« on: Mon, 27 April 2015, 10:51:34 »

Seems to be an alps board. For general interest, does anyone know what this is? The housings look transparent like matiases but the board appears too old...

Ah, I thought I recognised that chunky bezel. What alps switches had translucent housings, or were they clones?

Might be an AEK II but not very likely because of the switches.

It's an Apple Extended Keyboard II alright. The switch housings don't look translucent to me. Probably just reflections making them shine. I'd say those are dampened cream or white Alps. Those keyboards also came with Mitsumi Alps clone switches that had white housings, but they didn't look like the ones in in the video.
