'''Sharp X68000''' is a family of personal computers designed by [[Sharp]]. The computers were widely used as gaming consoles due to the many arcade games ported to the system at the time. The OS designed for the systems is Human68k, though NetBSD and OS9 can also be installed to them. The systems commonly came equipped with [[Alps SKCL Green]] or [[Alps SKCL Yellow]] switches, leading to their presence in the keyboard community. In addition, the keycaps are doubleshot on Alps boards, though a different printing method was used on the NMB version.

On Alps boards, the BREAK and COPY keys used [[Alps SKCL Heavy Cream]].<ref name="heavy" />

There were several lines of computers in the X68000 family, though the three primary series were X68000, X68000 Compact, and X68030, which came later.
