I don't know wheter it's mechanical or not, but this Alps keyboard sure looks weird. The seller claims it's unused.

ALPS also made a good amount of rubber dome boards, so my guess is this is one...but you never know till you buy it^^.

I'm never going to know then!
This unit actually looks as bad as sin. What was wrong with their designers? They really loved their photocopiers for sure! And what about those cleverly positioned Playstation buttons!?

The style reminds me of the Apple Adjustable keyboard (one of the worst ergonomic keyboards in my collection).

If they had done the function keys and numpad keys right, it would be a decent keyboard, even with that curve, which is far less irritating than most 'eronomics'.

Considering the time period and price this must be a rubber dome keyboard.

I used to know one of these. It is the worst keyboard I have EVER used, hammers on rubber domes. It was so bad I thought it was broken in some way. I smashed it up with a giant spanner.
