There's a chance for alps Hyper's pcb & plates?

I still have to find out if both switches could be mounted on the same plate.

But in any way, there will be ALPS versions available!

BUMP!


No more orders?


Currently I have only 1020 each including what I want for myself.

I will order 100 - 120 of each next month. Since im low on cash now

They are cheap hehe

OK, then you are the 2nd, so I'm at around 1200 per type.

Ordered

Count me in! Been waiting for this for quite some time ^^

Matias referenced an alps spreadsheet in the geekhack thread I think that details the pin positions.

Will the hyper have mounts for alps switches? (we'd need plates of course)

take my money and shut the fuck up!

One reason why I stopped designing the Hyper stuff was to see if we can get ALPS switches. I hope it is possible to put both on the same PCB. I will look into this once I've got some time.

ordered and paid... now on the waiting game

I demand moar orders!!!

Will order some soon can't wait for these. Hoping for some Alps custom boards!

To become VIP?

Organise stuff for other people or order a lot more stuff from one of my group buys!

Just order the adapters when they are available!

BTW: I own an AZERTY keyboard (but no double shots) with key caps that are ALPS compatible!

You own too many azerty keyboards, you know, it's quite strange.
Just give me your commodore one to enlighten your soul...

But there must be some abandoned msx laptop with nice azerty alps keycps waiting for a new lover.

These are only 2 AZERTY keyboards with Cherry double shots. The 3rd one you snapped away from me!

I have a T3100 in azerty and a T5200 in qwerty. A combination of those two give me a nearly full dolch-themed alps compatible DS azerty board (what a sentence!).

I can get my hands on another T5200 directly in azerty if you want. But I can't tell from the picture if it's BE or FR azerty.

I can always proxy for you if you want. But shipping will not be cheap, it's a super heavy machine. Or you can look for one dans la France! Other old Toshiba laptops have ALPS compatible keycaps as well
Those NeXT keyboards were also nice, but though to find.

i think it's FR not BE (top row be is more like ansi).
I will be interesteds in the keycaps only. (i know it's a shame for the laptop ...)
I'll search in france

by the way so 50 alps matias switches for me 7 bit

I can always ship only the caps to you of course, but the whole thing has to be shipped to me first :p anyways, good luck with the hunt! I'm sure you'll find something ^^

Oeh Gilgam, our lovely friend KennyR has found some DS azerty alps-compatible caps!
In case you're interested (or probably already read about it in the Marketplace):

Why the early deadline?

Because of the Chinese new year holidays.

Still 2 days to go!

So, this is it. The first time I participate in one of your crazy groupbuys 7bit. I ordered 120 of each. Want to find out if these are nicer than these simplified white ALPS on the only "ergonomic" keyboard I own. I really wanted to try it, as I seem to like the layout, but I just can't stand typing on these switches.
