2834 clicky (966 in stock)
2412 tactile (1388 in stock)

I must pretend I like the clicky one much more as well.

However, there exist keyboards with superb tactile Alps switches.

Pretend? Why? I agree to your pretense though. A little bit too stiff for me, but a nicer click and less hysteresis than MX blue.

Too bad they used the wrong pin layout and form factor, I would have liked them on an ErgoXYZ.

Because I want to sell the remaining tactiles....

What do you mean with wrong pin layout and form factor?

Exactly. Wrong = not a Cherry MX clone? Or am I missing something?

I like the Matias form factor. Classic Alps, and better than many of the original and classic clone switches not least as Matias are available brand new. I wish more manufacturers would go with Matias, for a bit of variety. But at any rate, there's some great caps out there that will only take Alps mount.

You taking CONUS orders or just EU orders?

I ship worldwide.

Alps switches anybody?

Are there any custom PCBs that take ALPS switches and are currently available? All of the ones I've seen so far don't accept orders anymore.

Good question.

I'm thinking about making a clicky Matias custom, depending on Matt3o's progress with his. Hand wired, though.

To what user name do I send questions about my order?

To me, 7bit. But you can also post your questions here.

But orders go to CherryMX !!!!

Just was not sure. You have like 19 usernames and I do not know what is a bot or not.

That last one is rather interesting

And Hyper....soon

How do I make an address change? I want to do that before I make payment. I change address like every 6 months. Have to keep the authorities guessing.

Just send this to CherryMX:

Just a quick question:
Could one solder these switches onto a Filco Zero?

I think Half-Saint offers soldering service. Don't know how much he takes for it.

Yes, they are Alps clones going into a keyboard full of Alps clones. Should be fine. Probably a nice upgrade.

Wonderful, thank you.

Switches arrived today. Thanks! I plan to put these on an Apple IIGS board. Hopefully the pins are in the same place as Orange Alps. Looks like they are and things should work. We'll see.

BUMP!


Still, both kinds are in stock!!!!

Great to see this, I like the matias clicky switches quite a bit!

Order PM'd

Thanks for your order!

¡BUMP!

Caps and stabs. If we could buy those new, Alps mount switches like Matias would be much more tasty.

tempted to order a bunch of switches, and if that group buy for Alps sphericals ever happens, I am certainly interested ! And if that would include an option to have blank caps for at least the alpha portion of the keys, that would be competely fantastic...

Paid, waiting for confirmation.

ordered ... I think.

Do I PM your bot a physical address at or about the time I pay?
The email address should be my paypal addr not the account used to activate my forum account (since they're different) ?

EDIT: looks like I guessed right. Money is en route, thus prompting the ubiquitous
I WILL ASK THE BOT WHERE MY SWITCHES ARE! :o #0440

even if I know you're not magic, any updates when you have them would be lovely.
