Exclusive NOS Alps Switches & Plates
Bear Cables (ships worldwide, except UK) will be offering new-old-stock (NOS) Alps SKCM White and forged carbon fiber plates.

• SKCM White are a medium-weight, clicky switch that can be made linear by simply removing the click leaf, if desired. Unfortunately, quantities of SKCM White are limited, and will be sold FCFS.
• Plates offered will all be approximately 1.1mm thick and made of forged carbon fiber. Four designs will be offered - 60% (gummy o-ring & tray mount), Jane V1, Jane V2, and Jane V2 CE. These four designs will be compatible with dozens of different boards. Plate files will be released sometime after GB.

No norde Kit No inozenz

Unfortunately since Alps is a niche market, kits like Norde would never hit MOQ since it appeals to a small subgroup within an already small group.

Thank you though for the feedback - hopefully in the future modern Alps keycaps with more international compatibility can come to fruition

Sad that I missed this group buy but Bear Cables at least still has some extras. They are out of numpads though. Anyone have the numpad set I can buy?
