So was going through the back storehouse at work looking for some spare parts when i came across an old keyboard at first glance i just dismissed it as another typical generic membrane keyboard. However my curiosity forced me to type on them tasty looking keys.  The result??? Well i found out it was a mechanical keyboard using ALPS black switches was bummed it wasn the At101w as they use super clicky ALPS white switches. Anyway asked my boss if i could have it and he said no problem. So heres soe pictures. =[)

Nice find, not really worth much because most KB enthusiasts don't like black alps but sitll better than a membrane keyboard for sure.

The problem is most of the big name keyboards use MX blue switches which are actually bad for gaming, if you're a double tapper who rides the actuation point it doesn't work on blue. Browns red and blacks are better for gaming than anything else though.
