Bought from another forum member. Let's see. That's a 10u spacebar and a 3u = key on the numpad. Cool.

I regret to inform you that this is not the 10u spacebar. It's 9u.

That's it, really; nice board

Are those really alps?

Should be the General Electric SKCC, yeah. Something like that.

For cream fans I would like to share this video of my favorite keyboard hacker. https://youtu.be/8-slWdMji8Y

Wrong Cream... if it's actually Cream and not Ivory/Cream Damped, then that's some heresy putting White click leaves in.

I've got some Salmon Alps here that I believe are in very good condition. I'll PM you the details.

Does anybody know of a standard extended keyboard layout which has Alps doubleshots? I have a couple boards which have Alps double shot boards (Leading Edge DC-2014 and the keyboard unit from a Toshiba T1600) and I really like them but I'd like to have a full-sized, preferably ANSI, board with them...

Also looks like this dell 103 is using doubleshots made by alps, maybe there is also ansi version with them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ULd95hM_JZQ Here's the description, Google translated to English: DELL's ALPS Black switch adopted 106 Japanese mechanical keyboard "AT103 (47444)". Although ...

The actual 5556-001 has PF labels, just a note:

The fix shouldn't be too hard -- the switches are Cherry MY and I believe they aren't the worst to repair... you'll need some glue though, I think? (I'm not sure if the switches were riveted in or clipped in). As for the parts -- the switches will be easy as people usually just throw away Cherry MY ...

Awesome pics and an awesome keyboard, thanks for sharing. Can you use it on a modern computer as is, or did you need to convert it? You do need a converter, yes. I've heard it uses Set 3 with a weird pinout, but I'm not entirely sure. The board acts weird with break codes though, so it wouldn't hav...

It was a pain for me to find a good quality photo for one of these, so I figure I should take some. ;) I didn't take any pictures of the bottom of the case mainly because the case isn't original and is from the Chinese dyesub variant, but anyways... Enjoy! :D https://i.imgur.com/JFMyctj.jpg https://...

I would LOVE to get my hands on those manuals!

Great find! Wow, the FMR board looks to be in pristine order! What do you think of them?

I'm mainly looking for the click leaves in KPT switches, the ones that look similar to Alps ones but are a bit smaller. No, not Mantis foot. I'm mainly looking to get them from those who just have them laying around from boards with the caps looted as I'm not going to pay much for these. Just shippi...

Took delivery of an ISO (qwertz) SGI granite today and it surprised me by having a switch I've never seen before. Bamboo cream damped. The sliders are kinda greasy like pine cream damped, and honestly the board feels pretty nice despite being dirty, very similar if not a bit better than my SKCM pin...

The Thai legends are not that worn. It's just my bad photography skills :lol: Here is a better picture hope that better shows the Thai sublegends.

You never cease to make my Nissho seem like a beginner Topre keyboard! Amazing find as always.

The way you type is so irreverent and disrespectful. Smh, you’re only seeking the attention of teenage gamers. I remember when the keyboard community meant something.

What? ... What?
Sorry, I couldn't analyze a typing video as deeply and thoroughly as you did there.

Wow, that's really lengthy thread chock full of information. Thanks for writing this! Very useful.

Could the Orange M8 switch be something like Hirose M8? I have no idea.

That is.... quite a collection! It impresses me everytime I see your posts.

Well, in that one in particular it probably isn't Alps because of the lock light placement, but maybe there are Alps Packard Bell items out there

Fujitsu Dome with Slider.

Is this Cherry G80-3000 Mechanical ?

Yes, it should have Cherry MX switches, I'd guess black. They aren't super vintage though, being made in 1999.

So, who got it?

Now have photos, some in not so good condition, some in better. I have videos too. I was hoping to sell them as parts or a wholesale lot.

Well, where do you live? US? Europe? Shipping all of that's going to be hell.

I really started caring about mechanical keyboards at around early 2012 when I was staying at my my brother's friend's house. The friend's brother had a Razer Blackwidow (Yes, the 2012 one), and it was nothing like I've ever tried before. It was a novelty thing, and very expensive for me at the time...

Gonna miss ya blaise. Damn. We lost him apparently according to some very recent reports.

Ironic... and unfortunate.

Damn, I couldn't imagine a group call in DT discord would be the last interaction I had with him. That's a darn shame, I wish I'd talked to him more with the time I had with him.

May he rest in peace.

Got green alps underneath. From a Zenith board where the badge was harvested and the cable was cut.

Do you have the pictures of thr Zenith board by any chance?
