on one of them, the J key is broken (you can probably glue it, though), but the caps are doubleshot, and the sliders are blue-coloured.

starts at $49.99, but you get two.

I would assume they have different switches to each other. They don't look the same (but with chicony boards, who knows).

The one that they show looks to be real Blue ALPS. The other one has a gold label which from what I have seen is a good sign.

If you live in AZ you can try my keyboards. I usually keep plenty of different ALPS and MX and buckling springs.

I don't see any ALPS branding on the close-ups of the switches they provided, it could be a clone.

Both are blue complicated ALPS.  95% sure.
Nice! What makes you say that?

I determined it by the fact Blue ALPS weren't labeled in all the cases I have come across and that is the right shade of blue. The clones I have seen are a different shade. Gold labels also seem to show up during the time period of the Blue ALPS.

I was thinking I should increase my Blue ALPS stock but I shouldn't spend money until I get my spare PC sold.
