I don't have the keyboard with me but its a ortek mck-84.
Another question. Should I try and lube them? >

Nice! There are an awful lot of compact white apps boards out there, but I probably should have figured that one out. People don’t usually recommend lubing clicky alps, as it really deadens the noise and tactility. In general though, lubing alps is quite contentious. There’s a thread on Deskthority that’s over a hundred pages fighting about what lube was originally used, and what’s the best modern replacement. If they’re dirty the best way to clean them is with an ultrasonic cleaner with purified water. Soap will likely leave a residue that makes them bind a lot. I would recommend watching the videos Chyrosran22 made about taking care of alps. They’re not definitive by any means, but he knows what he’s talking about. >

Wow thank you for the info! I'll definitely check out the video. My main keyboard uses NK creams so there's a huge difference between the two. The switches don't have a spec of dust on them. The caps are a different story. >

Not a fan of clicky, but fantastic find! >

Alps SKCM or BM? >

I'm having a problem figuring that out. They aren't labeled with either. >

All I can find at thrift shops are crappy OEM and low end aftermarket membrane keyboards. >

I do! Especially white alps :) >

this is such a win. would love to hear a typing test >
