Does anyone know what switches these have? This shop says it has "Quiet soft touch with tactile feedback Keyswitch control" just like this auction for the Macally MK-96.

Membrane. I had one, and it sucked. I threw it in the garbage the second day I owned it.

Thanks.

It's funny that We Love Macs have that quote in their auction when ALPS are so loud. I wonder if anyone has complained.

I bought it off eBay from a guy, not a store. I took a chance because I thought it would be a AEKII clone. No dice.

@xsphat: Are you sure that the MK-105 does not have the same white alps as the MK-96? The official Macally pages for both say "Quiet soft touch with tactile feedback Keyswitch control."

actually, the key caps do look different. The MK-105 caps are slimmer, likely indicating membrane.

Macally needs to be more clear on their web pages.

As I said, I owned one. I'm positive that my Macally 105 extended keyboard had membrane and rubber dome switching and felt worse than an HHKB Lite 2.

Sorry, I didn't mean to sound like I wasn't trusting your eyes or expertise. I was just double-checking to see if perhaps you owned a different Macally model or something like that.

Thanks xsphat!

It is funny the ad copy says the MK96 is quiet — that keyboard is louder than an airport.
