What kind of switches are in Chicony?

[Half-Saint]

I have no idea. Something clicky but it's not Cherry.

[pasph]

Can you please take a picture of the switch (i suppose it's white or blue)?

[Half-Saint]

I tried to remove the keycap with my fingers and failed. Don't have the keycap puller in the office.

Will take a picture tomorrow.

[Half-Saint]

Sorry guys I forgot it's the weekend Will have to wait until Monday for pics.

[Half-Saint]

Updated the original post to reflect the condition of G80-2551 boards.

I will put a key puller into your big box and ship it tomorrow ....

Finally some pictures... I bought this keyboard from webwit several years ago and it's been sitting in storage ever since.

Oh, that explains why it looks like webwit's ;-)

They're genuine white complicated Alps then. I was studying the last photo (before I noticed you'd said it was his) — I can't see the "ALPS" logo at all, yet in webwit's photo of the same keyboard (see [wiki]Chicony KB-5181[/wiki]) the branding on the switch is clear.

Nice keyboard, shame about the big ass enter.

[Daniel Beardsmore]

I was hoping it would be Monterey or Futaba, though that's still a steep price for a flimsy board.

I just noticed the Macro key — interesting. That's new to me. My KB-5182 didn't have one, nor does the KB-5181 pictured on the wiki.

Does the quick reference card suggest what that key is supposed to do? Moreover, since that's an ANSI board, where would a real ISO board put the Macro key, considering that the Macro key is where the 102nd key goes.

Looks like we have a variant of the KB-5181/2 …

Yeah, there is no ALPS logo on the switch.. didn't look at the others but I imagine they would be the same.

The manual doesn't mention the Macro switch. It's pretty much useless - the manual

[Daniel Beardsmore]

Waitaminute — the Esc switch said "ALPS" on it when webwit had it, and doesn't say "ALPS" on it now?

You're either mistaken, or it's a different keyboard, and it has fake Alps switches. All white Alps switches should say "ALPS" on them, although there may be some very early ones that didn't, as white was replacing blue.

Price reduction on Chicony.
