The Strongman SMK 85 is here and I am typing on it now (for the first time). I already pulled a key cap off and it has black Alps sliders. The action is much like my Apple Alps model, but this one is about as loud as the Model M, in fact maybe a bit louder. I am not used to typing on it yet, but I have a feeling I'll love this one the most. The all black keyboard with the all black Alps sliders, tactile feeling is great but I really can't say that much about it until I put a few days in on it. So far, it looks good and it types good and fast with not much to get used to.
And check out the size of that enter key.
Here's some pics to get you started:

And here is the label for those of you who like that sort of thing
This is a nice keyboard - it feels well constructed and solid. It is also quite heavy and there is no creaking of any of the other little sounds that make electronics feel cheep. So far, though it has been only minutes, I like this keyboard a lot.
