Dell AT101 $33 shipped OBO (7 available)
« on: Wed, 22 October 2014, 01:02:51 »
Black Alps (which suck, IMO), but it's a great solid Alps board and perfect for swapping some nicer switches in and not worrying about not being able to use the board.

Blacks without the tactile leaf + some lubing are actually fairly nice, if anyone's feeling adventurous.

Blacks + some lubricant + click leaves from Matias clicky switches are also pretty nice.

Black is very close to orange/salmon and if you transplanted them into the 2/3 of the keys that you actually use regularly, you would have a great board, not need a full compliment of replacements (say, from an Apple M0116 donor you would have enough) and hardly know when you went from one to the other.

Also, the listing says AT101W ("W" indicates Windows keys) but the photo shows an AT101 which sometimes came with much more desirable PBT caps.

I doubt there are going to be any PBT keycaps, but you could ask the seller to look for an old Dell logo and send a photo if there are any of those.

I also wouldn’t be surprised if some of these are the ones with windows keys (different from the one pictured).

You can't go by that. The last AT101 I bought was an old logo piece of crap with ABS keys.

Key part: get them to take a picture.
