Half-Saint has been trying to sell his for the past several months.

not alcatel just acer.
switches are acer brand and they are black.
but they also seem alps compatible

8x euro will stop right before the click
8x 1 euro + 5>cent will bottom out

Acer Blacks - 7.5gx8+4 = 64g. Pretty average force number.

Thanks! I'll add to the Workshop thread here.

There was at least 1 Acer board with white complicated Alps, and several with clicky Acer membrane switches.

It's acers switches. They made those themself as far as I know.
Imo they are quite nice, the texture on them was nice too, not far from typing on a piece of fine sandpaper

White Clicky Acers and Black Clicky Acers are supposed to feel fairly similar.

Sounds like the Chaotic World of ALPS.

Got one black clicky. Lighter than IBM. Still, haven't used it just collected one for caps...

How much lighter?

I'm typing this message on an Acer 6312-TW (black clicky Acer switches). As far as clicky switches go, the black Acer is on the lower end of the scale. The action is (in my subjective opinion) definitely heavier than Cherry MX blues but lighter than complicated white ALPS. The action is very sluggish and whereas white ALPS could be described as crisp, the black Acer is soggy, almost like a clicky MY switch.

Hmm, been busy with a Lego time machine, ripster?
