Acer KB-102a

I found this keyboard and it truly is a delight to type on. It has blue alps switches, and the logo is embossed on the switches. I could not find similar ones on the internet. Has someone seen blue alps switches with the logo on them? Also I am a noob what comes to the switches so what do the numbers mean on them. There is a 5 and 15(A, L and C) on top and a 9 below.

And then some pictures:

A really cool find! It even has a finnish layout Mind if I ask where you found it? I haven't managed to find anything cool from tori or huutonet when I have browsed them. And from what I've heard, the local recycler doesn't want people looking through the pile in hope of finding something...

There is a e-waste bin near where I live and that is where I found the keyboard. Would have been wrong to leave it there

The Blue Alps you found are late variants that should have short switch plates, much like White Alps. If they're in good condition they should still feel great, but from what I understand they aren't quite as nice as tall switch plate Blues in excellent condition.

Okay, I took one apart and found the following:

I suppose according to deskthority wiki these are the long switchplate ones, if I am not mistaken.

Now I just have to get it all back together

Still a transitional model, then, but it will be equivalent to the older Blue Alps. Nice!

I've never heard of short white switchplate blue Alps, even in the branded ones. Still, these are definitely late ones.

Really cool keyboard, welcome to the Brotherhood!

I found some in one of Cindy's boards.

I had one of these and my friend did too.
Don't remember where they came from nor do I know where have they gone.
(Didn't know nothing about keyboards at the time back when I had it )

Those are long white switchplate's.

Short white does exist though, my old Packard had them. 1989 date.

Nice, thank you all for the answers!
