Mystery Board, anyone seen this before?
« on: Fri, 15 April 2011, 22:31:32 »
bhtooefr has referred me here a couple times... figured I'd finally sign up.

Years ago I nabbed a sad looking keyboard out of the trash bin at the MSU Salvage Store. After soldering on a new cable it works great. It's got Alps keyswitches, and is the only Alps board I've liked (I dislike the OmniKey, for example)



Letters worn off from years of use :cool:




AT/XT switch on the bottom. As I recall there were no identifying marks inside.



Ever seen one of these before? I'd love to know more about it.

Thanks!

Oh sure -- that's an MK-727 with blue Alps.

Where I'm from, a blue-hue ALPS is a big money Monterey rare keyboard.

I think either that guy or someone else keeps saying that.

So, is it just some blue-tinted ALPS clone?
