Tbh, I'm not surprised. They did shift an ENORMOUS amount of boards at the time, and this is right around the time IBM started slacking. Alps had decreased output a lot as well.Muirium wrote: ↑Erase-Ease.

Supposedly NMB was the highest volume keyboard manufacturer in the world in 1995? Mind, the press release talks about rubberdome keyboards so don’t mistake such claims for a forgotten Space Invader armada!
Definitely. They made tons of both over the years, although for example the Dell QuietKey alone is a huge volume. Definitely around that time, the bulk of their stuff was rubber, for sure.Muirium wrote: ↑But mostly domes, right? Space invaders aren’t rare but they’re surely no more abundant than Alps, far as I’ve observed.
The more people post that board, the more I get pissed at myself lmao. The listing originally didn't have the blue alps picture in it, but I knew it was something good. Korean alps boards are always an exclamation mark for me. I wasn't entirely sure if this was blue alps or not, so I asked the seller for a picture of the switches, just to be sure. The seller added the picture to the listing. And now there's 24 watchers, and already multiple bids...JP! wrote: ↑Invest now in blue chip keyboards.

Tbh I always wonder why people don't realize that people are interested in eg switches, the label or stuff like that. If I would get asked such stuff I would always add it to the description. But sometimes you get good deals due to that, like the F122 auction that ended for like 120$ this weekmcmaxmcmc wrote: ↑The more people post that board, the more I get pissed at myself lmao.
