So I stumbled upon this in a house of some familiar.
Not NIB, but bought by her father and never used.
White alps and PS2.
Cable plastic not removed.
Found nothing in the wiki.
Any ideas?

That looks like a rebranded Acer 6312-K or 6512-K with
Acer switches.
BTW. Interesting that the Space Bar has yellowed less than the other keys.

Findecanor has it right; I strongly suspect that's an Acer 6312-TW with white Acer switches, the flat design (there is also a wavy design, the one I have; several Acer series appear to have at least two designs). Keycaps should be dyesubbed ABS. The spacebar looks like it might be PBT, which is fairly strange, because it's apparently quite hard to make a spacebar in PBT. You can test it with some acetone on the inside of the spacebar; if it's PBT, it shouldn't smudge the plastic.

POM will also pass this test, so it doesn't positively identify PBT. It just rules out ABS.
You could also apply a swipe of nail polish to the inside and let it dry. If it then can be flaked off cleanly with a fingernail, leaving no residue, it's
not ABS.

They don't call it "Space Bar" for no reason...
