I wouldn't be all that interested in this if not for the free shipping. I've literally never seen a keyboard with free shipping that didn't obviously incorporate the shipping into the cost by doubling the normal price. Seriously, being Canadian sucks for buying things online, shipping is usually more expensive than the keyboard, and our dollar is in the ****ter right now. So this is rare.

Anyway, I have no idea which switch the board might have and the seller refused to check. Apparently he's already packaged it and can't be bothered to take it out. The Deskthority wiki lists one particular Datacomp board as having Blue Alps, but this is definitely a different model. Could it be white Alps? Domes?

By the way, if it's a decent board I call dibs.

Probably some flavor of ALPS:

I recently bought a Datacomp Mac board-- build was okay,  nice modest case, didn't care for layout.  Had whte ALPS.

You guys think it might be worth $50 shipped? That's pretty cheap for a keyboard in Canada. Usually shipping alone is $40.

I’m guessing either Futaba, white Alps, or some Alps clone, but who knows.
