Datamancer, very sad story. Famous steampunk keyboard modder. Died last year.

Interesting, an Alps Datamancer — I am guessing that this used to be an AT101W.

The board I have a dozen complete ones right now? Mine are Dell labeled.

[Daniel Beardsmore]

Yes, those are the ones. I still need a few more vintage Tai-Hao keycaps for mine to replace as many as I can of the lousy Silitek keycaps. I also need to finish off converting the black Alps switches to pseudo-blue Alps using parts from my donor Monterey K102, although admittedly the black Alps switches were better suited to office use. What I should really have done is left the poor old blue Alps keyboard alone, and replaced the black Alps in the AT102W with Matias switches, assuming of course I could solder.

Now they use cherry and sell also keycaps alone
