I just bought this thing on EBay for $10, not including shipping. Based on some other pictures, it seems to have White Alps. Anybody know anything about this keyboard?

Switches are an Alps clone. Hard to tell from the photo (too small, and not enough light), but probably Hua-Jie, mounted in reverse.
Is there no label on the back? Even if there is no maker's name, the FCC ID should indicate which company made it.
It's certainly Focus-like, but not the normal design.

I don't have it yet. These are just the photos from the EBay listing. I will take a detailed look when the keyboard arrives.

Got the keyboard today. Turns out this keyboard is a Focus Electronics FK-7000P. Has Alps clones, white and clicky. Manufactured in June 1992. I'll post some pictures.

Please do, it has a serial track-ball, LED's under windowed caps, BIG-ASS enter and ..
Well, a pretty interesting layout actually
EDIT : Are those RGB modifiers or is it 'just' the 'Control'-caps that have coloured legends ?

I posted some photos in the "Photos and Videos" forum.

I haven't tried it yet because I have to get a couple adapters. The switches feel good and it is an interesting keyboard. The mouse buttons are a little stiff and the build quality does not compare to some of the beefier vintage keyboards.
