"Alps MX blue" keyboard on ebay?
« on: Fri, 11 July 2014, 14:37:20 »
Was out and about surfing ebay and I found this keyboard titled "Professional Full Size Mechanical Gaming Keyboard With ALPS MX BLUE Switches".

Initially thought it was keyword spamming until I saw that it had 11 units sold and this picture in the description:
  ;D

The alps stems seem a little too blue to me...
Anybody here have experience with this particular board?

WHOOPS forgot the link!

I can't remember the details, but I know this has been posted before and the conclusion was that it's not Blue complicated ALPS... FWIW.

Could somebody who has actually used them describe what they are like?

Using meaningful adjectives that convey information?

"Starting in 2011, the deficits again started to shrink. During Obama’s term  the deficit was reduced by $900 Billion  before finally in 2015 the GOP managed to wrangle a “reconciliation” bill out of Obama where he again cut corporate taxes, as well as made permanent some of George W. Bush’s original tax cuts. This is the year everything reversed. Before this, under Clinton, Bush and Obama the deficit in almost every year was gradually decreasing. The balance we had of taxes and the economy was bringing the deficit down, the money coming in was slowly catching up with the money going out until 2015. Trump’s subsequent tax cut has continued the new trend even after the rest of Bush’s cuts have since expired. Obama had an average GDP of 2.3%, with 11.6 million jobs created and unemployment peaking at 10% in 2009, then falling to 4.3% in 2016. If we had continued on that downward deficit track, we would have again reached balance and another surplus in 2017-2018.

There was a review of that Rosewill board here. IIRC it's called the striker.

They are apparently not consistent enough, with variation on the click. On one of them that either didn't click or had very little click, a stronger Alps spring was placed inside and then it clicked properly.
