Royale Typewriter, $30 OBO New York

[nubbinator]

According to the DT wiki, it's ABS doubleshot (though I think that may only be the green caps), but in any case, it's a fantastic price for some sexy caps if you're in the New York area:

Damn, unfortunately this is a bit too out of the way for me without a car. Good find.

The royal alpha 610 is very similar to the royal alpha 700 that I got keycaps from a while back. The keycaps are the same and were all doubleshot.

I would expect doubleshots and front printing on all the keys there.

Note that the DT wiki article got much of it's information from the GH wiki article that I wrote, so this isn't really a second source of information or anything.

Should have doulbeshots and M9 switch. Pretty good set for an FC660, just need a few other keys from EK in the GMK bright green and elsewhere to finish it out.

But the back slash key cannot be sourced anywhere in that color.

Sure but you can use the [R] (which is a home row profile not bottom row) or backspace key, if you don't mind having a key from adjacent row profile for the \| key.

I said "forget the profile" and used one of the 1.5-unit flat-keys from the side.

[IvanIvanovich]

Those green keys on the left are 1x1.25 and are similar profile shape to a numpad + key.

you are correct: they are flat profile. I had no issues using it that way for a few weeks before I sold the KB.

I bought this. Hopefully I'll pick it up tomorrow and see what I got.

Make sure to post pics.  And if you don't want the PCB and switches, let me know.  I'd love to do a disassembly and review of them since it should be Cherry M9 switches.

Congrats!

Picked it up today. Needs some cleaning. All the keys are double shot with the front print being something else since they are a different lighter color.

IIRC the light green side legends are dye sub

[IvanIvanovich]

Side legends are pad printed. It's not possible to dyesub on ABS.
