Description
The FK-6000 comes in four varieties, three of which use use Alps-mount switches. The keycaps of the Focus FK-6000 are double-shot ABS. The Alps-style FK-6000 seems to be the most common variant of the keyboard with clone switches being more common than actual Alps SKCM switches. The keyboard is held together with three screws, one on the top and one on each side as well as many plastic clips that can be pushed back with a screwdriver.
