My instinctive thought was 230 (from some spec I read once) — over 200, as I recall.
A very quick Internet search gives me, for 2004, 50–65 G operating, and 300+ G non-operating. I assume I had read the non-operating figure.

Are both equal Alps switches or is one inferior to the other in build or finish?
The first one is SKBM White, made by Forward Electronics, AKA simplified Alps. It's real Alps in the sense that they started out Alps branded, but that one is from after the Alps branding was removed (instead it just ...

Topre short-throw travel
Has anyone ever come across a specification for Topre short-throw giving the switch travel?

Cost perhaps — whichever manufacturer was cheaper at the time. I assume that's what the deal was with Chicony and Monterey and their switch-swapping. (Some brands such as Nan Tan and Ortek offered high and low end switch options, which with Chicony at least seems not to have been the case, but that ...

Naming and grouping is one of the mysteries in life. For example, as I noted on the Mitsumi nomenclature page, Mitsumi has both related series and split-joint series. So even though I know that miniature mechanical includes "KLT" and "KLM", I cannot tell for sure if this is KLT Type and KLM Type ...

For $5 I would be very tempted, as those switches (Peerless) are really interesting, and that one has proper 105-key ISO layout (mine's only 102-key, which is a deal-breaker for me). Be careful about cleaning though as the space bar has a weird little spring around the stabiliser wire for stiffness ...

The sound depends on what the keyboard is made of and how it is constructed. The nicest sound I've encountered for Alps is my Monterey K102; putting the clicky parts of the switches into a Dell AT102W yields a keyboard that doesn't sound as good. I have never seen a video of any keyboard that has ...

Honeywell rubber dome it seems:

Not to be mistaken for the Silitek rubber dome version:
