I have actually found some black stuff on the sliders. I might be able to find one that still has that. It was presumably lube. Skcm whites, still.
That's probably gunk or plastic dust; I don't think that's lube.

Re: Desperate to try out a beamspring

Really want to give one for a spin. I currently have a beamspring of my own, but its in non working condition, with not even a single switch working properly. I realize it's a huge risk to ship a stranger a keyboard worth this much, but if anyone is willing to take the plunge then I can assure the ...

Well, I on the other hand will just verify that Nyogel 760G does nothing for Blue ALPS (and all SKCM that are prelubed). In fact it does the exact opposite, it exacerbates the friction making them even more scratchy. Back to the drawing board.
Yikes... well then.

RIP to those that tried 😬

Sorry to ruin your discovery there @hellothere and @ntv242ver2, but that's just a cover Alps used for the very tall Apple keycaps. They clip in to a standard Alps switch, in this case an SKCM Orange.

what layout is the keyboard in for the keys on the right?
You can set it to whatever you want -- a Nav cluster, a small numpad, a bank of F keys, all your choice

The original F77 had it for macros, they have some relegendable caps there.

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.
