SGI AT-101 with what could be PBT Alps caps and cream damped switches.
« on: Fri, 01 May 2015, 18:18:43 »
The price sure ain't the best (to say the least) but this has got to be one of the nicest looking Alps boards I've seen. Well, I mean, aside from the fact that it's filthy and whatnot. Does anyone know for sure whether the caps are actually PBT? If only it weren't so damn expensive I'd buy this one just for the caps (assuming they are PBT).

And the case is particularly nice, too.

I have never owned one, but these are supposedly the creme-de-la-creme of Alps caps.

I want to know of boards with acceptable legends and subs.

These do come up for ~$60–80 from time to time (both the PS/2 version and the SGI protocol version, with both beige and gray cases), in slightly better condition. They are great keyboards though, great keycaps, solid build quality.

Here are some recent ebay sales:

FrostyToast: what’s your definition of acceptable legends? These aren’t my favorites, but they’re much better than the standard bull**** Helvetica.

I just want something that isn't like that italic Apple font.
Upright, maybe top left aligned.
