I've seen on a second hand mobile application (wallapop, don't know how to take images from it) two clones of IBM keyboards, one is a clone of IBM Model F AT (din connector) which by the photos seems the
Philips clone with space invaders, and a Model M clone with HP brand, each one sold by a few.

These TI boards may have Green Alps for $55. Mine, which I sold a while back, did. Troublesome layout, so really only good as a donor board.

What are the caps like ? They look ok from the picture !
If there are multiple i would not mind a set of green alps and caps.

Someone just bought one. I might not have time to get a response from the seller!
How sure are you that the board is green alps Mark?

Seller updated with a picture verifying the green alp goodness. Thanks for the heads up ohaimark!

I'm glad that all of you find green, brown, and yellow Alps appealing because I find these somewhat often and simply don't find linear switches to be all that interesting (apart from magnetic valve and Hall effect of course). Isn't a green Alps just the same as some other Alps with the tactile/click leaf removed?
Now a silenced orange Alps, that would be something.

The caps are moderately thick. Dye-sub, but likely ABS due to the yellowing I saw on mine.
Edit: I bet the seller is kicking himself for not listing them at a higher price.

He seemed pretty chill when I PM'd him.
I think he just wanted them gone.

ohaimark, you know ABS and dyesub are mutually ezclusive? If they're ABS then they're likely pad printed or similar.

Yup. ABS melts at the kind of temperature dye sublimation requires.
Because ABS is shitty, second rate, craptastic stuff!

ABS - Acrylonitrile Bullshit
It's right there in the name.
Edit: I kid. ABS isn't so bad, just DON"T TOUCH IT!

The S actually stands for styrene: think styrofoam. Which is even worse in my opinion!

Did this guy cancel everyone's orders or does he really have 8 more?
Nvm, it's his last one, he just didn't update the quantity.

This is the first time I was one of those people that got it while it was cheap
Two of those boards I got with an offer of 100$

Congrats, not a bad deal. I was in real early on these (last night) but I just spent my last keyboard monies on a nice minty looking blue Alps Focus FK-2001. I'm pretty happy but, alas, I had to sit this one out. Too much good stuff lately.

Nope! I managed to find one much cheaper (2015 blue Alps price, RIP) and nicer. It was so hidden you could only find it by accident
