Get it, try it, if alps aren't your type of thing, sell it off, if they are, keep it.

 

Sell it and get a mechanical keyboard like the quicfire tk.

You do know that is is a mechanical, right? Just not Cherry/cherry compatibles.

Oh even better, was hoping its mechanical.

I think ill get it, try pressing the switches, and keep or sell it.

I have a cherry MX red keyboard now.

I dont want to actualy use the apple keyboard, its new in an open box, ill just try it, then decide.

If it's in its original pristine packing and un opened .. DON'T OPEN IT !!

Put it away in a dry and tempered environment where it wont get scuffed or catch any sunlight for the next 30 years and once you take it back out, you'll be able to sell for a small fortune.

It's usability value today is low to none compared with the amount of high-quality mechanical keyboards you can get today, so you wont be missing out on much by not putting it to use ... In return the sentimental value of an original Apple product from the turn of the century once we reach the 2040-50's will probably be insane.
