NeXT Keyboards - ALPS Switches?
« on: Thu, 25 April 2013, 11:25:28 »
I've seen a few NeXT keyboards show up on eBay, they look pretty nice considering their vintage.  Did these use Alps keys?

Hard to search for these, way too many results for "next...".   :rolleyes:

Thanks!  Another model to add to my watch list of sources for interesting Alps keycaps.

Do they all have the same switch or are they all different?
