Hi everyone, yesterday I stopped by my local recyclers and picked up what I thought was a Parkard Bell branded BTC 5130, but its actually made by Silitek according to the FCC ID and it's an Alps mount Dome with Slider. It threw me for a loop due to the fact it's identical to the BTC board in how it looks. It even has the 1.25U escape key. Felt like sharing because it doesn't feel as nice as the BTC board. It has a mussy bottom out and aren't as tactile as a BTC dome and slider in my personal opinion.
Cheers,

P.S. Pardon the state of my desk. I haven't had a day off from work for over 3 months and cleaning my desk has been low on my priority list. LOL

I just noticed the addition of the FN/Menu button above the number pad. That's the only obvious difference between the BTC manufactured boards.

In general, most boards with SK-**** model numbers are made by Silitek. I've never seen BTC use that format. I've also not seen Alps mount Silitek dome and slider before, only MX mount. I will say that those keycaps very similar to standard BTC lasered keycaps, and nothing like the Silitek keycaps I've seen before, which is interesting. Makes it difficult to judge the manufacturer without seeing the label

Here's the bottom Label. It's where I looked up the FCC ID from.

Yeah what you're looking for is the FCC ID with just 5130. If it has SK on the badge, then it's not BTC
