If you find a source for the real deal let me know. At the bottom of sandys page is the pinout for making your own (http://sandy55.fc2web.com/keyboard/wang_724.html)

Good morning, I would like to add given my own experience and from what i can read on the massdrop discussion thread about kc60, this product is weak. I received mine like 6 months ago, i use it daily at work, put a Tex aluminium case, have a solid transport box, and a dedicated usb cable with gold...

If you want something in the shape of the M0116, buy one of these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/301862008680 The “made in Taiwan” type have tactile white SMK (“monterey”) switches. The only downside is that the double-shot keycaps they used have stems which are too fat, causing SMK switches to bind. If ...

I love that picture with the springs. They really pop. Look quite nice.

I'd daily that.

I thought the orange ALPS had a grey switchplate? My Salmon/Pink ALPS don't have the grey switchplate and I thought that was the difference? Or Since this is such a late Orange ALPS did the switchplate change?

EDIT: Or is that a grey switchplate and I am blind?

I've always been scared to take apart mistumis since I know nothing about them. I have a keypad with some greens.

guk is that the shield from Heroes of Might and Magic II? I haven't seen that for like 10 years! (if it is) I have all the original manuals and guides from that game still.

My g80-1000 is pretty old and still fells bad... just as bad as my 8113s and 8200s. I'm kinda interested in if any of the other cherry boards feel much significantly better. My g81-3000s feel a bit better but its rubberdome. Do the G80-3000 have a plate and feel better like the g81 version?

Awesome! I have a mitsumi keypad I used for binds in Garrys mod. I never realized how strange they were inside. They are very tactile and have a comfortable force curve like you say.

How much do you guys think a KB-5591 is worth?

Blue ALPS usually do not have an ALPS logo on the top of the housing.

So would i just need a rj11 to PS/2?

It says for use with IBM AT, PS/2 and all wang listed equipment on the back.

Well its not a new Wang... Its kind of a second hand Wang...

I just got a new wang 724 on ebay for cheap. The only thing was it doesn't have a cord. What cord do I need to get for it?

Will post pics tomorrow.

I thought some of you might find this interesting.

The Black ALPS I have used were on two separate AT101Ws. I pressed the switches a few times to find out which one I thought felt better and I used that one for a day and decided then I dislike black ALPS. That was probably 6+ months ago. From what I remember Black ALPS were very frictiony and barely...

I know I'm bringing back a dead thread but...

I would like to make it clear that black ALPS and Pink ALPS feel nothing alike. Pink ALPS are among my favorite switches while black ALPS are one of my least favorite.

I found something at goodwill a while ago BNIB with these switches and some really sexy white on grey DS keycaps.

The color is pretty close. The tail lights didn't look right though.

Ascaii, is that a.... T5-R

Was this the auction in Wisconsin? Btw I'm expecting pics of every keyboard

I think I saw bigfoot in one of those pictures!

Do you see what I see?

They often sell for $20-40 USD depending on how clean the board is and if it has simplified or complicated ALPS.

Most have doubleshot-colored shift, ctrl, and alt stock.

Never.

All of the ALPS switches that I have come across it held true. It may not be exact but it seems accurate. I wish certain people would let you do as you please. You are often very helpful and certainly one of the most knowledgeable. Unlike the others who have the information you get more of the infor...

The Focus 2001 is one of my favorites ... Great picture collection. A long time ago I owned one of these myself (blue ALPS), but then I sold it, because it was yellowed.
