Editing Alps Bigfoot (section)

==History==
Alps "Bigfoot" keyboards were sold to a large number of customers; in Japan, they are best known for their use in AX systems, and in the West they are best known in the guise of the original [[Dell AT101]]. The "Bigfoot" name has also become associated with the [[Alps SKCL/SKCM series]] switches used in these keyboards.

The [[Packard Bell KCLEA907L]] has a case of the same design, but the switch layout is based on the [[IBM Model F]] AT, instead of the [[IBM Model M]].<ref name="rzwv-GoldStar" /> This smaller design is not covered by the "Bigfoot" moniker.

Later Dell AT101 keyboards, as well as at the AT101W and AT102W, were made by [[Silitek]], with an identical design to the Alps-made keyboards; it is not known whether this transfer of manufacturing was amicable, or whether it was arranged without the participation and approval of Alps Electric.
