Moved the thread to the "Marketplace > Member to member > For Sale" section, leaving its "shadow" (meaning its title can still be found there) in the "Gallery" section.

Yeah, I'm sorry about that. As expected they moved pretty quickly, I was about to edit that part out.

Better still: Offers welcome

What's the story behind the white alps in this board? I thought these only came with alps skcm salmon

I have one of these, but mine has damped whites.

This PCB is a bit older:

Just got this unbranded Bigfoot with damped whites. Nice. :shock: Not sure if I've ever seen an unbranded one like that? Looks really clean, congrats! :) Yea, me neither. The potato cam doesn't show it, but the case yellowed pretty unevenly. Other than that, it does seem to be in a decent condition.

What's the going rate these days for G81-3000 SAD keycaps (and does anyone want them)?

This may be of interest to you. https://deskthority.net/wiki/Cherry_MY#Keycap_compatibility_with_Cherry_MX Thank you, I've been doing some research since returning from the recyclers. While the switches feel every bit as shitty as everyone said they would, the keycaps are *wonderful*, if a little b...

I happened upon a Highscreen branded G81-3081 while dumping some old stuff in a recycling centre. Are the caps MX compatible? They're nice thick dye subs.

Okay, which one of you got the Datacomp off ebay-kleinanzeigen.de?

Ahem.

I think ANSI AEKs, and I assume it is an AEK II, could net you a bit more than ISO ones in EU. I would say at least EUR 50, especially since they have salmons. But then again, I'm talking completely randomly here. No, it's an M0115. Too bad the shipping would kill any deals right off the bat. A guy...

What's a decent condition AEK with salmons going for these days? ANSI just isn't working for me.

@u-ra: What was your motivation for top-modding your Dell AT102W rather than simply using the Monterey K104? In my case, if I had a Del AT101 or AT101W and a Monterey K104, I might do the mod just for the layout, as I prefer a standard US ANSI layout with a horizontal Return key and Backslash key d...

Nothing too fancy, but I "top-modded" one of my AT102Ws with SKCM whites (pine, gold colored springs) from a Monterey K104. Together with some Acer caps, it makes for a really great board now.

Pardon the potato cam.

Well I'll be damned, it was the converter. Board works fine when plugged straight into a PS/2 port.

And you're using it through a PS/2 port or Soarer as opposed a cheap converter? Someone recently had issues with two Alps boards and it turns out it was capacitors, although those werent working at all - https://deskthority.net/keyboards-f2/every-alps-board-i-buy-is-defect-t14609.html I am using a ...

I'm not sure what to do about it. It drops key releases every now and theeeeeen. It drops presses too, but not nearly as often.

The new logo AT102. SKCM salmons, PBT caps (except spacebar). Too bad it's faulty...

Hypersphere wrote: ↑@u-ra: Are those orange or salmon Alps? In addition, what type of printing method was used on the keycaps?

I'm sure they're salmons and the light is screwing the camera up. No idea about the keycaps, though. Will report when the board gets here.

Just nabbed this. Had no idea Alps made AT102s with new logo.

Yeah, neither does mine. Seems to be specific to the US variants.

Some K104s have blanks. w/images/0/06/Monterey_K104_front_view_alternate.jpg

I have that same board, but in ISO layout. Also SKCM whites.

Looks like FK-555, doesn't it?

ISO blue Alps... Bring it on

Right, I was saying it's cheaper than the one I linked earlier.
