From the pics it looks like he's an ALPS guy. It might be easier to attach keycaps to those compared to, say, Cherry switches, and they're quite common.

Hardware in signatures clutters Google search results. There should be a field in the profile for that (again).

This message was probably typed on a vintage G80-3000 with blues. Double-shots, baby. :D

Yeah I favor ALPS switches, but am actually about to switch to Cherries because the ALPS are being discontinued just about everywhere, it seems. ALPS Taiwan just stopped making them too.

Whoops, sorry.  I musta thought of the wrong  guy - he DID build  some Steampunk Model Ms though.

He also put in a plug for you.



Haha ok. Yeah, I was like "weird...I've never even made a mini". I'll have to look through my records and see if I can figure out if he bought a keyboard from me, and what kind.

OK, so Chinese people like steampunk keyboards too. I admire the result, but I'm not truly surprised.
