What Alps (or clones) are these?

Seems like plain old Yellow Alps to me. I believe some of them can come without the LED cutout.

I brought home the Micro Switch board (it's really a word processor) and a bunch of Model Ms. Photos if and when the kids give me a break... Hey, I'll take 1 of those Ms if you have too much ;) ..., there were a bunch of PS/1, PC XT, 286 and 386 systems of various generations. I may go back some ti...

But... does it work? Nice pictures.

You can do whatever you want with these 2 pics I took when I made a craigslist deal of a 5140 at school lol. They aren't great quality pictures, but I hope that somebody can out them into use somehow.

my Monterey dome with slider board also came with a 1.25u Esc key... what a weird board

Do we have a way to find out the source of the pictures in the background still?

not from a Jedi.

*cough* Somebody should make that a thing. *cough*

Wow, these are great finds! Congrats to all of you.

Man, I wish I could've been there! It seems so fun to just dig and loot stuff. Too bad I'm in northern California. Wish the best of luck to everyone who's going! (someone get me a Model M/F if there's one from the pile for shipping price pls)

PM on a quote on a single 7x Screw-in stab.

I just have a small hunch it's an electrolytic capacitor giving up or disconnected. I'd say to check them, but of course, check the others too.

I just discovered that my ancient Harman/Kardon amp has a legendary Alps Black Beauty potentiometer inside. I always wondered why its volume knob felt superior to anything else. It's such a silky smooth and perfectly dampened knob action... Now I know that not only Alps keyboard switches, but also ...

Honestly, just ask around in Thai keyboard communities. (I got mine from an FB group.) They are't very common though, so it'll take a while to get a hit. You can also go find them in the many e-dumps that exists there.

Bump. At this point I'm just looking for the R5 Arrow keys.

I'd like to make an NKRO keyboard in whatever ways I can; what are the ways to achieve this? I heard that USB has some limitations, but I don't know much about that. I know the fact that I'd need diodes for the matrix, but that's all I really know and I feel like there's more to that.

@kakan interesting how you swapped W and E. And yes, typing demo please!

Dang, those look *mwah* nice!~

Ouch, right when I'm doing a haul... would've definitely bought it. Nice and subtle and doesn't make people think of me weird if I were to wear it.

Very interesting... nice caps too. Great find.

There's plenty on Taobao for $40, if you're inclined to buy those. They're standard doubleshots.

Oh my lord, oh my lord, oh my lord! Awesome find, man! Great job.
That bend on the case though...

LMAO, IT'S SO TALL

Hmmm, now we have Alps Creamsicle and MX Creamsicle? Interesting.

I'm tempted to get the typewriter caps, but I don't know its layout

I bought these off of a Thai FB group, hoping that these would have dye-sublimated Thai sublegends, but sadly, these have some really crappy silkscreen printing. For only $34 shipped internationally, though, I can't really complain. :lol: https://i.imgur.com/RkLdJGr.jpg https://i.imgur.com/jt4fNdo.j...

Woah. Very cool.

Wow! For only $75? That's a killer deal! Very nice.

Oh, interesting. Didn't notice that in the first picture. Knowing that that'll piss me off later, I'll take the arrow keys then. PM me for pricing and stuff.
