Hey there, I'm looking for an ALPS keyboard that's full size or bigger. I'm not concerned about the condition of the switches, in fact, a board without it would do well for me as well.

So long as the other parts of the board are of ok condition, I'm fine with that.

Thank you in advance!

You’re after a harvested Alps donor board?

(None here. Just clarifying.)

Yupp. Just got a large batch of NOS Alps Switches that I plan on putting on a decent board.

The best "common" chassis is the Dell AT101 and the BEST chassis is the Northgate Omnikey.

If everything else fails, I’ve got an Alcatel QWERTZ keyboard (essential a rebranded Acer 6012).
Yellowed, battered case, switches scratchy, located in Germany.
Won’t blame you at all if you say no.

Might be worthcontacting EnthusiastDude. He's selling off a major part if not all of his collection (viewtopic.php?f=55&t=27653). He's got some AEKs in the main picture but you could ask him if he as anything else.

I wish haha. It's SKCM White, which is still nice since I don't have a board with that yet

I honestly don't mind since it's hard to get ALPS chassis in my country, but the QWERTZ layout might drive me mad. Thanks for sharing though!
