ABS M1 Mechanical Keyboard

[dylan43270]

I just bought myself this keyboard from craigslist, which it is nice and all, but keyboards are definitely not like headphones. I have my trusty Cherry MX Blue switch keyboard, and I do not think I will be able to transition to these Black Alps switches. I was planning on buying this keyboard for when I am at work so I do not have to use a membrane keyboard, but it is actually the same loudness as my blue switches. Anyone else have any experience with these keyboards?

Can you post some pics?

Black Alps are pretty uncomfortable. I have never liked them. Other Alps like Blue and Yellow are really nice though. Alps have more of a vintage rattly feel.

Here is a review of the keyboard. My phone's camera is messed up (HTC M7) or else I would take some pictures of it. I was going to do a little video for you guys for the different sounds, but it doesn't do it justice for the difference of sound and feel. Here is a video of someone typing on the keyboard. 

 

Is this how most non cherry mx switch mechanical keyboards are? I think I may have already been spoiled by my MX blues... When I had to go into work and use a membrane keyboard it actually made me feel grossed out to type on it. 

 

I think I may have to just find myself a cheap MX Brown switch keyboard for work since the blues are a little loud for a work environment. I may action this one off if people would be interested.
