1x Apple Keyboard II (M0487) (Serial Number:Sl3054HQO3N)

1x Original Coiled ADB Cable Key characteristicsof M0487 SMK / Alps-Mount Variant

  • Switch Type: Spring-over-membrane hybrid with Alps-style mount sliders rather than a pure independent mechanical contact leaf.
  • Typing Feel: Sturdy with a crisp tactile bump before bottoming out, and keys that pop back up quickly.
  • Sound Profile: Relatively quiet compared to full high-end clicky mechanical switches (like Blue Alps), though sharper than standard rubber domes.
  • Keycaps: Unique ABS keycaps with proprietary or Alps-style rectangular posts/wings depending on the specific SMK sub-batch.
  • Identification: Keyboards using the SMK-manufactured internals typically feature a serial number starting with the letter S (contrasting with M for Mitsumi variants), and internal controller boards clearly stamped with SMK markings.
  • Quirky Layout Detail: Tactile homing dots are uniquely placed on the D and K keys instead of the standard F and J.
