I think I have found an oddity.
« on: Thu, 10 May 2018, 11:55:03 »
Hi everyone,

So, I bought this NTC KB-6251-EM off eBay, and studied it a bit. The seller did its share of being incompetent of sorts and some of the keycaps have been pulled badly (being ABS and flimsy...). Thankfully, it is mostly in good condition, I'm getting double-shot keycaps soon-ish and they can replace precisely the keycaps that weren't in proper form. However, I noticed some differences.

The label says 6251-EM, but the PCB says 6251-EA, v6.0. On the Deskthority wiki, there's only v5.0.

Another oddity is that it seems that  it doesn't seem to have complicated white Alps as it says in the Deskthority wiki, but rather simplified ones. Now, this is my first mechanical ever, but I suppose that when I open up the switch just like in Chyrosran22's video, I don't see a white bit in the back, but a metallic one, so...simplified?

Also, no metalic back panel, but a plastic one.

This keyboard might sound like the worst of best, but tbh I'm pretty happy of my acquisition. Haven't given it a try, my adapter will come soon.
