ALPS (?) Dell AT101W $24.95 BIN

Caps look like ALPS to me from the pulled off one.

Still pretty white.

A very yellowed one here for $19.99:

I got one in decent condition for less than $5, it's a nice board but I think $15-20 shipped is ideal, depending on condition.

I have never bought from him, but NC Bound sells premium products at premium prices, and his customers are satisfied.

I also recommend trying your local e-cycler or go to university liquidation sales.  Got 2 of these pretty much mint a while ago for $5 each.

It's a nice board, but that is a little more then I would spend on one. I got mine at a thrift store for $5 and that included two other old membrane boards.

Other than disliking shiny keycaps and black alps to a certain extent mine is fine. People talk about them getting very scratchy/grainy so I don't think it's actually a bad one. I do think that it will make a good platform for some other kind of switches, however. That's the reason I even still have mine.

I have bought nearly a dozen of these in yard sales, salvage, thrift stores, etc, for $2-5

They used to turn up every few months, but I probably haven't seen one in half a year.

Buy an Apple Extended Keyboard and transplant those switches into it for a really nice standard ANSI keyboard.

PS - the Apple key caps are much better, too, but you don't get a real complete set

Other than the dell, which doesn't let you jump backwards diagonally, I haven't had any problems with nearly any key combinations used for gaming on 2KRO. The major exceptions are the M0116, which blocks alot, and my weird emerson which only allows 2 keys to be pressed at once period. Nearly all 2KRO keyboards are better than that.
