Focus FK-2001, apparently spankin' new, $39.99 shipped

UNTESTED Focus Electronics FK-2001 FSQ4VY Keyboard Clicky Mechanical Vintage

BIN $39.99 shipped (U.S.)














Looks unused to me... At least I can't see any splooge it; can you?

It's one of the later China-made ones, so according to DT it'll have one of these switch types:
  • Simplified Alps Type III
  • alps.tw Type OA2
  • alps.tw Type T1
  • Omron Alps-style

Too bad that it'll likely come with Simplified Alps or clones; I really could use a set of new SKCM White Alps to harvest for my Omnikey...

It's not a bunch of bananas, either, so I guess you'll have to visit the produce stand for that.

Alps clones aren't all bad, some of them are pretty decent :) .

BTW the Thailand-made models appear to have come with genuine Alps even very late. Klennkellon appears to have found one from as late as '95 that had genuine Alps in it Oo .

I doubt it’s “unused”.

Also, you have the wrong bit of the DT wiki switch list. This is the type with Windows keys. Those have so far only been known to include:
* Blue Simplified Alps Type III
* alps.tw Type T1

The one with Omron “Alps-style” switches was from at least 6 years earlier: http://hw001.spaaqs.ne.jp/kaineko2/keyboard/FK2001/noALPS/FK2001_017.JPG
