Was Keytronic involved with the Alps board? I'm pretty sure every manufacturer of that era were making 5150/60 clones that were nearly identical externally.

I don't see the first two as having Alps switches, and I don't think the third one was made by Keytronics. The KB-5150 model number was probably used because the model number of the original IBM PC was 5150, not because Keytronics thought of it or had a trademark registered for that number.hellothere wrote: ↑02 Jul 2022, 21:42Our Wiki.

Cool.
You're both correct that the KB in the ebay ad doesn't specifically say "Key Tronic" on it, but the Key Tronic one did have a black metal bottom case and that fancy label in the top left corner.
I must remember to expand my ebay searches to include "5150."
