I was looking at that bottom one the other day. What is the deal with the white/orange stem inserts?

Are you sure that the top one has Alps? Those are some funky keys.
"However, even though I was born in the Mesozoic, I do know what anyone who wants to reach out to young people should say: Billionaires took your money. They took your chance to buy a home. They took your chance at a good education. They stole your opportunities. Billionaires took the things you want in life. If you really want those things, you have to take them back.
That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.
Late-stage capitalism is a wealth-concentration engine, focused on vacuuming up every dollar and putting it in as few hands as possible. Republicans are helping that vacuum suck.
How does a tiny fraction of the population get away with this? They do it by dividing the other 99% of Americans against themselves."

Duh! Of course.

There are two types of these IIGS keyboards. This type is PBT caps and orange Alps. The other type is thick double-shot ABS caps and white SMK switches. You can tell it’s the PBT version because the spacebar is still ABS so it yellows, while the other caps don’t.
