[WTB] TKL ALPS Board (New or Used), SKCM Blue ALPS
« on: Fri, 03 October 2014, 09:14:57 »
Need a TKL ALPS board.  That crappy ducky will do.  Also interested in fancier options.

Or if you have ALPS Ergodox keycaps...I'll take that too.


Also looking for SKCM Blue ALPS (complicated clicky blue ALPS)

Duck Alps isn't TKL. That's a 60% keyboard. The only TKL Alps boards that are out there are the Ducky 1087XM that the OP mentioned, Filco Zero, and the Kingsaver. Pretty sure that's a complete list. Matias' boards are a 60% ish layout and the older boards like the AT101W are full size. The Siig Minitouch is a 75% layout though. And the Duck boards are all 60% (Viper, Mini V1, V2)

The Matias mini layout resembles the Leopold FC660 but with discreet function keys. That's probably as close as you're going to get to an ALPS TKL in terms of production boards.

I have a duck mini v2, so not looking for 60%.

Really want TKL so I can use for excel.  Want to get my hands on a DuckyXM, but I heard they suck so I don't wanna drop TOO much on one.

but I heard they suck


They are just about like any other modern plastic TKL keyboard.

What sucks are the green XM switches and flimsy keycaps. If you are planning to use it as a chassis for transplanting switches that you really like, and upgrading the keycaps to something solid, it is perfectly acceptable.
Citizens United violates the essence of what made America a great country in its political system. Now it’s just an oligarchy, with unlimited political bribery being the essence of getting the nominations for president or to elect the president.
So now we’ve just seen a complete subversion of our political system as a payoff to major contributors, who want and expect and sometimes get favors for themselves after the election’s over.”

At one time I asked Brian at EK if he could import some FC200R Lites to sell - but he didn't want to touch them due to quality concerns.

Still, it would make for a conversation piece in someones collection.
