Only info I could find on it: http://kbtalking.cool3c.com/article/6026
White clone Alps it seems with some doubleshots.

At least that's what it looks like to me. Probably nothing great, but I thought I'd mention it since the Wiki has only Model F clones.

Looks like Ansi doubleshots or dyesubs to me: http://www.ebay.de/itm/111378224507

Nice matrix layout board. Almost symmetric stagger too. Not bad.

10 EUR says pad printed.

I am pretty sure hey aren't dyesubs nor doubleshots, can't quite tell from those pics but they sure look like pad printed

It was supposed to be a joke ;-;

Keyboards are far too serious a subject for any of that!

no fun allowed!

I didn't read your comment just what mbodrov quoted and jumped to conclusions ;D

That 'kinder' keyboard should have Alps alike white switches though so possibly not a bad choice if that layout is for you. The keycap is pad print pretty sure on newer usb model, though I think the older model with din5 did have Tai Hao doubleshot.

I'd love to see someone using that as their main keyboard! Especially with those original caps…

Guess I'll have to quote myself:

Ah, but was Ivan?

That "kinder" board looks fairly tame compared to the UK versions I used to filter out of eBay searches:
WARNING: you probably don't want to see them. With nicer caps they could almost be interesting 'boards (that cursor arrangement is reminiscent of the ancients), but if they really are Alps, therein is a further issue...

I had a feeling they'd use that font…

Fuck yeah Comic Sans :O

Forcibly exposing kids to Comic Sans is just as evil as exposing them to BASIC. The horror, the horror…

One justification I heard for using C. Sans in a particular school was that few other handwriting-esque fonts that ship with Windows have a single loop lower case a. Even Papyrus can't match that.

I must admit that I like "single deck" a's. Fortunately, they're far from limited to idiotic fake handwiting fonts. One of the 20th century's classics: Futura has them.



And I quite like Questrial too. When I'm not banging on about Helvetica, I'm also a geometric modernist…

Even worse: the fonts used for movie titles in the 1950s so that you could tell it was a romantic comedy before having to suffer through the movie. Zany! Madcap!

I was actually being serious about that board having Alps. Well at least the older ones did have them as I have seen used ones on ebay before that had missing keycap.

Somehow I'm curious, do they just have domes on a membrane?

Honestly, the weird mustard-yellow of the yellow keys makes me immediately think of the Tai Hao doubleshots we've all seen recently.

people love the Handerbeit keyboard but laugh at a kid keyboard :/

I'm not actually sure. I never checked. They feel incredibly mushy, though.
