Looks like very little wear on the one in the photo- given that the lettering on the keycaps appear to be intact. 4 Available, though, so it could still be pot luck. Even has a video and the keyboard looks great at 1080p.

EDIT: A link would help.... LINK

Awesome. Many thanks for pointing this out. Now I get to do a MarineKingPrime checkered layout with my beige one.

Thanks for the find, just ordered one a sec ago. :-)

No problem... Still 2 left. The Dell at101w is probably the least expensive mechanical you can get- and it's definitely not the worst.

Unfortunately found out shipping to Hawaii was little more expensive (from $8 to $15). Not a huge deal, still decided to go through with it. Wanted to try out an Alps keyboard, seems like a pretty good price for it and I like the black color. Btw, do you know what type of Alps switches the black AT101W uses?

The four I have are all Black Alps. I don't see any different with these black ones. I find them very smooth like the rubber dome Dell Quietkey, but louder.

If it's in good condition, you should be getting a great deal on a mechanical keyboard.

Mine has some shine on the keys, but if anyone wants it, I'll sell it for $28 shipped conus. I prefer more clicky stuff generally. I didn't think letter wear was a thing on these. These are all black alps.

I'm not sure what my original AT101W was, but this new one I got with black alps definitely has a stiffer, and quieter, feel to it than my old one. At the end of the day, I think I still like MX Blues better.

BaconKnight · « **Reply #8 on:** Thu, 28 April 2011, 01:11:09 »

Yeah, I really like the feel of MX blues too, more buying this to try em out. For sub $50 shipped, that's about the price I'm willing to spend just to try something out.

P.S. Does anyone know where I could get a custom red escape key for the AT101W? I know custom ALPS keys are a little rarer/harder to find.

EDIT: Nvm, found this site here. http://www.keycapsdirect.com/redesc.php Sent an email for an order not too long ago.

MissileMike · « **Reply #9 on:** Thu, 28 April 2011, 07:44:25 »

All 8 of these are sold, to 8 different people.

False_Dmitry_II · « **Reply #10 on:** Thu, 28 April 2011, 16:19:09 »

Well that didn't take long.

i love black alps, reminds me a bit of browns... just a little

MissileMike · « **Reply #12 on:** Fri, 29 April 2011, 05:50:17 »

Looks like the same seller has two more. Looks like he realized his last batch sold too fast so he jacked the price to 35$ and doubled shipping. Not a great find anymore!
