There is no information if Alka's Industrial Co. Ltd., as an OEM from Hong Kong, manufactured keyboards for some better known brands, but we know that it did market their own keyboards under the Delta name. As evident by the inscription with checkboxes on Delta packaging, the company produced at least two models of Delta keyboards, AK-67 and AK-68, that shared the same FCC ID.
Description[edit | edit source]
The Delta AK-68 is a rarely seen, relatively unknown, and out-of-production standard (full) size keyboard manufactured by Alka's Industrial Co., Ltd. The keyboard is using the ATW Alps clone switches and features the XT/AT switch under its right leg.
At the time, some strong points of this keyboard probably were:
- relatively attractive design
- good-looking keycaps
- affordability
On the negative side, it looks like the AK-68 suffered from a mediocre craftsmanship as evident from:
- visibly misaligned keys
- poor choice of materials used (e.g, flimsy case with lots of flex)
