I found this keyboard and it truly is a delight to type on. It has blue alps switches, and the logo is embossed on the switches. I could not find similar ones on the internet. Has someone seen blue alps switches with the logo on them? Also I am a noob what comes to the switches so what do the numbers mean on them. There is a 5 and 15(A, L and C) on top and a 9 below.
And then some pictures:

A really cool find! It even has a finnish layout Mind if I ask where you found it? I haven't managed to find anything cool from tori or huutonet when I have browsed them. And from what I've heard, the local recycler doesn't want people looking through the pile in hope of finding something...

The Blue Alps you found are late variants that should have short switch plates, much like White Alps. If they're in good condition they should still feel great, but from what I understand they aren't quite as nice as tall switch plate Blues in excellent condition.

Okay, I took one apart and found the following:

I suppose according to deskthority wiki these are the long switchplate ones, if I am not mistaken.
Now I just have to get it all back together

I've never heard of short white switchplate blue Alps, even in the branded ones. Still, these are definitely late ones.
Really cool keyboard, welcome to the Brotherhood!

Short white does exist though, my old Packard had them. 1989 date.
