I think this has to be the award for at least the ugliest packing box!

Pretty intense yeah.

"It's a keyboard" alright!

keycap · 12 Nov 2015, 22:36

Screw the keyboard, I want that free disk!

FrostyToast · 12 Nov 2015, 22:44

Interesting.
The tiny keys at the top make me think this could actually be an ALPS board.

Grond · 12 Nov 2015, 22:48

"Built to last", oh man, I wish it wasn't!

webwit · 12 Nov 2015, 22:51

Space Cadet cursor keys.

chzel · 12 Nov 2015, 22:57

Could it actually be mechanical?
I think I see traces between the caps...And it's AT...
Cindy do you have the keyboard or just the pics? Pull a cap!

elecplus · 12 Nov 2015, 23:05

AT with a PS/2 adapter. Not really clicky, but not total mush either. Yes, the AOL CD is still there

Don't think this qualifies as Alps!

Oh, pity...At least "BRAIN WORKS"!

elecplus · 12 Nov 2015, 23:09

If you want Alps, I have a old salmon Dell and an old black Dell. The one with black Alps is missing one cap. The one with salmons has the older (oldest?) style logo.

Muirium · 12 Nov 2015, 23:11

Interesting. Someone will want the salmon for sure.

Everything about this keyboard hurts my eyes so much.

klikkyklik · 12 Nov 2015, 23:33

I'd love to hear you do an incendiary review of that one, Thomas!

elecplus · 12 Nov 2015, 23:35

Maybe this should be the "rubber chicken" for the secret Santa, but I am not on the list

Muirium · 12 Nov 2015, 23:59

Rubberdome chickens… everywhere!

Hahaha could you see me type on that... thing for two weeks? Maybe for extra fun I should take it to the office and see my colleagues' jealous looks :p .

I'm pretty sure I could burn it to the ground pretty well if I would though :p .

Ha, the 1x Caps Lock is still a hat key, by having an *actual* hat on it XD

GB for this colorway (on MX) in 5... 4... 3...

strafe · 13 Nov 2015, 03:25

I'd prefer one of these

Halvar · 13 Nov 2015, 03:30

Oh come on, you can't compare that Nick crap to the holy Topre dino!

Damn it's so Cute

Imagine the kiddies would love it, especially having the dinosaur eating itself......

joc · 13 Nov 2015, 04:07

There was also a Star Trek version:

Muirium · 13 Nov 2015, 10:46

If only it came with the uniform.

Ahem, Holy Filco dinosaur.

There's a serious danger I'd want one if it was a Topre dino!

Remove the F row and that thing is quite nice

2 menu keys and one r-gui keys ? Insane ! at least its a none stepped caps lock!

And check out that clack on the escape key!

I wonder if its doubleshot!

Muirium · 13 Nov 2015, 11:33

The whole thing is doubleshot. That's how icing works!
