Was browsing ebay today and stumbled upon this keyboard with some strange looking switches.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-NEC-Key ... 4881906671
They look like Alps SKFL but the lack of those two bars and NEC branding made me unsure.
Anyone who seen these things before?
NEC Branded Alps SKFL?

That's not an Alps switch. We still need to add those to our wiki. Like so many things.

They’re fun, but I don’t like them as much as Alps switches.Chyros wrote: ↑They have a very good reputation, the few people that have tried them say they're really good.
They were much cheaper for NEC to use though, because they made them at their own factory in Thailand instead of buying Alps switches made in Japan.

Interesting, I did not know that. Makes sense.
