"All keys have been tested working. Left SHIFT keycap has a small crack."

A little grimy, too, but these don't turn up very often priced this low.

Most of the time people look out for the old logo version because they want the Salmon Alps version, GYIAT101-102. Note that although this GYUM97SK is the Black Alps version, I've found the switches in this to be quite different from those in the AT101W; specifically, they feel and sound considerably superior. Here is a comparison video I made a while ago:


Indeed, these tend to go for MUCH more than this.

The last old-logo AT101 that I bought had bad black Alps and ABS caps.

I had gotten it for cheap and was really only hoping to harvest a set of good PBT caps. Fortunately, I was sell it for break-even on ebay.

AFAIK only the Alps-made version has those, right? They're pretty nice caps. You should be able to tell from the FCC ID whether they have these or not :) .

No. Or at least, mine doesn't (thin ABS).
