White alps, looks very clean from the pictures. Little high but you could make an offer.

Don't see at all, you say?

If I could deal with a 1u backspace, BAE and white alps it'd be interesting to try.

Yeah, the second one is a steal at $63 shipped.


These should be old school “pine” white Alps switches from the early 1990s, the clicky analog of salmon/cream switches from the same era.

IIRC, no and it looks a bit less awkward in person. I have one of these and it actually feels decent to type on.
People in the 1980s, in general, were clearly just better than we are now in every measurable way.

The dumber the reason the more it must be done
