I love the sound of these and the easy PS/2 conversion. Makes me want to go out and buy one. I'd only feel bad about buying a whole P70 just for the board. I still probably would anyway if I didn't have a bunch of other projects.

every time I think I mind-mapped the whole ibm keyboard spectrum, a new specimen comes along!
So is this the alps buckling springs you reviewed a while ago? how do they feel compared to an F or an M? ok ok, I'll go watch that video...

No, these are Alps PLATE spring, Alps BUCKLING spring is a completely different switch! I also reviewed that one a long time ago, they're quite interesting too

I like the slab industrial styling of the board's design. And the absurd fold out legs for compensation!
