Mtek K104... isn't that Monterey Blues?

The Focus alone is worth $35, the possibility of Monterey Blues really sweetens the deal.

Yes those are going to be Monterey Blues on the Mtek and probably the clickly White Alps on the Focus....this is a really good deal but the Mtek is pretty yellow. Usually the Mtek goes for around $60 itself.

I couldn't resist, made an offer of $25 and the seller accepted it!

Received the boards today, I'm a little disappointed. the MTek has white ALPS, and the FK2001 has dampened cream ALPS. All in all, not a bad deal for $40.

Also, the seller shipped them in a cut-to-fit cardboard box with no padding at all

I have had a few Focus 2001s and they were all white Alps.

Many people would consider the dampened creams to be more desirable.

Are the keycaps good?

All the FK2001s I've owned up until now have also been white Alps. The dampened cream ones feel surprisingly nice.

The keycaps are double shot, as is the case with all FK2001s as far as I know. They're fairly yellowed, but I have a better set from a partially dead FK2001 that I can transplant.
