Nice, now we have the conformation that it's the DFK-515AT1.

That's right:Chyros wrote: ↑Noice! These are really cool boards .
Note that not ALL DFK-515s came with green Alps.

Too bad I can't use the layout, or this would stay in one piece. As it sits though, it is a phenomenal source of smooth Alps SKCM Blues. Good times.
A few potato pictures for good measure:

Yes, mine had blues. And based on this thread on /r/MechanicalKeyboards some people seem to think those always came with blue Alps, which evidently isn't true.
Someone with wiki-skills should add a quick little page for the Datacomp DFK-515 model(s)

I can do that but it won't be quick or little...Scarpia wrote: ↑Yes, mine had blues. And based on this thread on /r/MechanicalKeyboards some people seem to think those always came with blue Alps, which evidently isn't true.

Neat looking little board. I think the green Alps model is probably harder to find than the likely often more desirable blue Alps model.
It isn't often that you see an Alps Electric double shot BAE key. Weird mix of pad printed keys too.

I know it doesn't look especially that big, but it's surprisingly huge. They're definitely cool boards though, quite unique in several ways.E3E wrote: ↑Neat looking little board.

Oh do you have one as well, Chyros?
I can imagine it's pretty large when you take the separation of different areas on the keyboard, but I swear that keyboard pictures are always a bit deceiving. Keyboards either look larger or smaller than they actually are in person, haha.

I found one at the recycling centre a while ago. Mine has blue Alps too. I'll be doing a video about it sometime in the future, definitely a fun board.E3E wrote: ↑Oh do you have one as well, Chyros?

It's really big, though, over half a metre in length. Here it is compared to an (already massive) Bigfoot:

Very cool. It's probably the biggest "fullsize" I've ever seen (not counting "oversized" boards like F122s). It's pretty funny that it has all of that real estate, but really isn't putting much of it to good use.
I'd love to have the green Alps version, just because it's different, and I'm a sucker for the left-field variants. Plus, I already have enough blue Alps boards. I've never owned a green Alps keyboard (typewriters don't count!).
This thing must weigh a ton though.

Yeah, I think it might be the biggest PC keyboard I own. It's 2.5 kilos including the cable, by the way.E3E wrote: ↑Very cool.
