The keycaps look like signature plastics, but that doesn't really narrow down anything, because they had keycaps for nearly every single mount out there.

My wife was Goodwilling and found this 32 year old beauty!

Great condition, hardly any dirt to clean off, looks barely used.

Boy I wish I could find M122's at Goodwill. Nice find!

Has anyone else received their switches yet? I'd like to get everone's feedback on them and work out improvements/suggestions. I understand that this might not be what you are looking for, because I didn't buy any, but I would say that the main improvement any alps clone could make would be to add ...

[Edit: Sold] -

Techland branded IBM F122 - $150 (I don't need it someone buy it before I do)

Also "I can't sell to anyone in Indiana." which is me

awwww, damn it.

Keycaps look like the ones that are on the chicony 5160, so it could be alps. Not sure though.

The profile and the lettering are a dead giveaway. The super sharp corners too.

What would dyesub or double-shot caps from a g80-3000 be worth and is there a good place to get something like that? I currently use dyesubs from a g81-1000 but alas the modifiers and spacebar, as well as the capslock don't fit because of stems and width. What do you mean that they don't fit? do yo...

Basically, the cleaner you buy them, the more you stack the deck in your favour. Sure, you may score a lucky hit with a dirty board, or even a bad beat with a nice-looking one, but waiting for those pocket aces will give you the best possible chance of getting the real deal. I can confirm, it's all...

How does it feel? Without a doubt, the worst feeling board I’ve ever used. No elitism, run of the mill modern domes feel much better. Granted some of that might be related to the rubber sheet deteriorating with time. Maybe I’ll go more into detail about the story behind this keyboard later (if anyo...

Isn't this the one that was on ebay for 1,200 bucks? Quite interesting switches, looks like Keytronic Tactile foam and foil, but with an MX stem. How does the sensing work? Is it capacitive or conductive? Seems like it would be capacitive, but the ribbon cables make me think conductive. Looks like ...

Haven't been posting much here. But... We do office moves at work often. When we do we put out dumpsters for us to recycle old hardware. I walked by one this morning, and I saw a numpad and thought "this looks interesting..." I picked it up and it looked like a M15 numpad, and I thought "no way!" T...

Exciting!!! And thanks XMIT for sharing a bit of background too - I love the thought of the Kaihua CEO excitedly clicking a beamspring switch tester between his fingers and getting proper nerdy with you at CES. Also, I can’t imagine a world where I would NOT buy one of these, although I’d probably ...

This might be super obvious, but are these cherry switch or alps? If they were alps, my wallet would definitely be in danger.

You do realize that this ended almost a year ago, right?


And they are MX. Alps molds for SA don't exist. They would cost about 15-20k to do according to Clueboard

Too lazy to thumb through the wiki. What switches be these?

Looks like a foam and foil switch. Just from the outside, the whole spring thing, etc.

There is the GH80-3000 PCB, but it has issues. Terribly sorry for necro-ing this thread, but what issues does it have? Just got an NCR g81 for 50 bucks, and am looking for a replacement PCB. Issues like the right WKL alt being too close to the spacebar, not compatible with the newer G81 cases, firm...

Wow. Never seen that cap profile, and that dyesubbing is perfect.

I need to pick one of these up... they are just too pretty.

I have a different variant, but the keycaps are gorgeous!

And blue Alps are the shit...

That looks pretty nice!

Is there anything interesting about this keyboard? Don't have it at the moment, so can't get better/more photos. Thanks The keycaps look like they were made by Chicony/Montery. So it's either a rubberdome, or alps mount switches. The shape and font used on Chicony's alps mount caps are very distinc...

Well, it would appear both statements are true xD . Complicated Alps don't dissolve, simplified do xD . Only the top housings, though. Tested on; SKBM white, SKCL Yellow pine Now we need to try pine vs bamboo. Maybe they changed materials when removing the slits? https://www.keebtalk.com/t/us-ca-h-...

Aw darn. Not as close as I would like, but hey. Looks like it's a predecessor to the Alps Bigfoot/at101 style case design. I am sure it's quite the tank. SKCL Browns, right? It's interesting, I just got an Old Logo Dell at101 in yesterday, with Pine black alps, and ANSI AE Doubleshots. I was hoping ...

Wait. Like, actual grease? That doesn't seem right...

Judging from the caps: Some sort of alps board. Maybe a wiki/Datacomp_DFK777?

The bottom row caps are reminiscent of alps doubleshots.

This is a heck of a necro, but are there any more updates on this? Fascinating profile, but this project appears to be dead.

I would also be interested in purchasing some of the white alps, depending on the price.

From my experience, IPA in an UC is the best for a quick, deep clean. You don't really need to UC the switch plates, you can do those by hand to clear the dust off, if there is any.
