I'm way too stupid to add the information to the wiki. It would be my honor if you could do that

You have to open at least one, and possibly the one under the space bar too as the spring something is likely to be different. External looks alone don't help identifying Alps clones, and the pictures you have submitted don't even provide complete details of the external looks either.jensma wrote: ↑07 May 2024, 18:28Yet another switch that need identificationwiki/Codegen_Technology_CG-84A1
Alrighty! I just added a stabilizer 3D model to the wiki since I broke three of them when disassembling the keyboard. They are extremely brittletactica wrote: ↑08 May 2024, 05:29You have to open at least one, and possibly the one under the space bar too as the spring something is likely to be different.

Then there's those random colours across the board that I hope are due to aging plastics and not mixed up switches...
Feel free to use them =) As I said, I'm stupid when it comes to stuff like this. And no problem about the stabilisers, I just printed new ones.
Woah, thanks for the investigative work!tactica wrote: ↑10 May 2024, 22:37The keyboard with the unknown yellowish Alps clones is from a MicroOrchid PC3 portable. I have updated the wiki article and emailed MicroOrchid asking for details. Too bad the email link for most subsidiaries is the one and the same as for the original manufacturer in China, so in the end it will be up to them if they decide to share any details.
Edit: the email returned a DKIM failure. @jensma I suggest you try your luck with the German contact address, see here.
Never mind, the site no longer exists. It's strange they're keeping their homepage and pointing people to dead contact links.
