Interesting Clone Alps ADB Keyboard

I recently picked up an ADB keyboard with clone grey Alps switches, and clone Heavy Greys for the ctrl, alt, and command keys. I measured the actuation force, and it was 80g for the regular switches, and 105g for the heavy ones.

The switches are very clicky -- louder than the blue Alps that I use as my main keyboard. This is quite unusual for clone switches.

Cool. I have one and we've seen several others before. There's a bunch of different slight variations listed in the wiki.

I think it is loud keyboard also because there's a lot of empty space inside where the sound from the switches can reverberate.
