Recently bought on ebay:
The seller told me he bought the keyboard at the end of the 90s for a µC project. He didn't have any more information besides of that.
The keyboard is equipped with Alps compatible sliders over domes.
The keycaps are doubleshot.
I think someone posted one of these in the Matteos DSA Retro groupbuy.
For the search engines:
Alps 12KE080B
80060001 - 4
MCL 437F

Ascaii is the guy where you probably have seen it before.

The slider guide shafts don't come out, do they? Is the slider plate a single moulding?
I'm not sure how to classify that. It's a bizarre hybrid between [wiki]Alps dome with slider[/wiki] and [wiki]Alps integrated dome[/wiki].
I never cease to be amazed.

I didn't try to pull a slider out, but I'll try it tomorrow or at the week end.Daniel Beardsmore wrote:The slider guide shafts don't come out, do they? Is the slider plate a single moulding?

The slider plate is single moulding.

I'm thinking that maybe the name would describe the fact that the dome is held down by … something. "Alps dome-held-in-place-by-…something".
I've just added every other Alps-mount switch already on the wiki, to [wiki]Alps mount recognition[/wiki]. This one is stuck until it gets a name.

Ugh, so a hybrid between the integral mouldings of the HiTek keyboards and single dome switches underneath?
Good luck coming up with a short name...

[wiki]Alps semi-integrated dome[/wiki] will do for now.

The design varies, and I never found a definitive version, but here's my best effort to date:
http://deskthority.net/wiki/File:Alps_E ... d_logo.svg
Edit: If someone can get me a perfectly top-down version of that logo, I'll redo the drawing. I was working off a switch mould, which was all I had at the time that was free of skew. I only created the SVG for the switch recognition diagrams, but it would be nice to have a proper version.
