Hi all, wanting to pick up a board with SMK but not sure how to tell the difference. Are there any giveaways or do both versions look practically the same?

Doesn't the SMK version have ABS keycaps ? it looked like so in Chyros' video...
I'm sure the Alps variant has PBT caps at least, so maybe look out for the ratio of yellowness of caps/case ?

Well the AK II had no Alps variant, but the SMK are Alps-mount which is what I'm looking for specifically. Also want an SMK lock switch which comes with these.

That's very helpful - now to get sellers to stop lazily adding just one blurry photo of their listing...Daniel Beardsmore wrote: ↑http://www.applerescueofdenver.com/prod ... -ii-parts/
