Seems silly, but would you be interested in a board with Orange alps? They're even quieter than black alps, almost like cherry mx black

Lol - haven't clicked on Mrinterface video in a while. Feel free to steal my pics. Webwit can help with removing watermarks.

Great intro.

My desoldering Radio Shack pump stinks. I should get one of those. Brand? Product Link?

Update : I am waiting for two more keyboards. The ALPS white complicated and simplified. There is much debate about the differences of the two, so I just think the sinklists and switch try bags won't be complete without them.

This project is getting bigger/better by the minute.

The switch try bags have 31(!) different switches. 7 keycaps with different lettering/material and 5 different extra goodies ( o-rings, dampeners, cherry stabilizer stem ) and to top it off a Filco Keypuller

Impressive stack, I should get my name on the list to take some close up pics of ones that I only have fuzzy Internet shots of.

I suggest a little pic guide go with the switches so the switches get identified correctly when people comment on them.

I can verify Rip Ripster works fine with customs.

I once transhipped Webwit a keyboard with Aunty Ripster and cute animal stickers on the box along with the deflated keyboard gift value on the form and a note in the box saying, "For Your Birthday, Nephew - Aunty Ripster".

UPDATE:

All try before you buy items will be shipped with a so called 'Surprise Bag' inside.

I'll fill them with something nice for the first ones to receive the items. If you receive one, I ask you to fill it with something the next in line would appreciate. It doesn't have to be big or expensive, just something nice and preferably keyboard related.
