After looking more, I may be wrong about this being Alps.  This may only be an Alps compatible board with some funky foam and foil bit that looks like an Alps setup.

Not Alps. Acer switch, which is clicky. White and black Acer switches differ only in the colour.
Acer 6311 is well-known to have Acer switches and nothing else.

If I recall correctly, the click point is somewhat lower in the stroke than white Alps, other than that, it feels a lot like Alps. The Acer switches on my keyboard are a bit scratchy, but that may be just my keyboard.

I wonder what those legends are. People are always looking for good alternative Alps caps.

* CPTBadAss saw your Alps-signal and came on his fixed-gear bike as fast as he could go

And I actually find the Acer version of Alps to be very scratchy and stiff. Not my favorite.

Don't lie to the people, man.

He just wants to snatch it up himself. Don't wait for him to make an offer. BUY IT NOW!

#4 is Acer switches.

and fwiw, I got my acer board for like $4+11 shipping. It's an okay switch, kinda like a dampened alps switch. The only reason they're alps-like is they use an alps click leaf to make a nice... click.

EDIT: infact if you want to compare it to alps switches, #1 is black ALPS.
