Speaking of, I noticed the blue ALPS DC-2014 auction ended without any bids at 99. Seems like the blue craze is finally blowing over I assume this is the same one, relisted with a BIN of $99.95: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-Leading-Edge-XT-DC-2014-84-Keyboard-Blue-Alps-Slider-IBM-Clicky-PARTS-...

I figured that this had to be in the pipeline after they released that bluetooth tablet stand as a stopgap. Matias keyboard has that protruding thing too. Maybe it's a trend? I always assumed that their design was based on the original ADB keyboard: https://deskthority.net/wiki/Apple_Desktop_Bus_Key...

I suspect a Realfource 104U would come off pretty damn well, judging by what people said and my previous experience with Topre switches :D Well, hopefully they're listening :D A cheap but mauled Soviet board: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Soviet-USSR-Russian-mechanical-keyboard-lathe-machine-device-/28...

Were they perhaps keyboards with relegendable keys? wiki/Relegendable_key

I'm afraid I can't offer much insight into the switches, I'm still learning the basics myself.
