I can buy this thing really cheap, its a strange keyboard, nothing found about "ARC" and has a strange layout, 104 ISO first time i see...

The question is anyone know about ARC Keyboards, is this mechanical?







Thank You

it is not iso, it's ansi with big enter. I think i could be mechanical, since on 3rd picture i see something black under, it could be plate?

I requested a picture without one keycap...

I've seen those before, or model very close to it and it had white Alps.

Serious business, 10€ buy or not buy, that's the question.

Confirmed white alps

10€ for a white alps keyboard, seems legit

The switches say "Alps" on them?

Dude, The woman who is selling this keyboard she did not even know she could remove the keycaps and put them back.

No, and according to the Deskthority.wiki "Early versions did not show the Alps logo on the top part of the case and seem to be identical to the older blue Alps switches."

The question is, is this a clone?

Hahaha that is the probably reason you got that board for such a price
I bought an old High Screen, If I am lucky, it has White ALPS in it.

I didn't like the black Alps that much, got an brand new Dell AT102 and I can't get used to them.
I removed the Metal plate to get rid of that harsh tactile feeling, now I am pretty happy with them but still not so happy to use the board as my daily driver.

Impossible to tell without a macro shot, but it's genuine Alps–shaped. Probably genuine. I've only seen the counterfeit/exceptionally dubious switches on the FK-2001 so far.

What, it's a mere €10.

Don't you hear that eerie sound at the back of your mind saying "buuuyy meee"? Aren't you dying to find out if it is some precious rare keyboard?

No, those are your bog standard clones. These, on the other hand … http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=20740.0
