what kind of keycaps are those?

The one on my commodore 128 felt good. untill it gotten dirty that is.

Hi there.
What is this? I can seem to be able to identify it here: wiki/Switch_recognition
The dude says it's linear.

Sorry but I don't care about SKBM. XD So yes, definietly SKCM. Binding can't be caused by the tactile leaves, or can it? I only bought the two SKBM boards because they were factory USB/ANSI and will take other Alps switches directly. More projects that I'll never get around to probably. I don't kno...

Sure. I'll upload them to the wiki as well if you're ok with it. The SKBM's color looks like as if it was lubed but that's actually not the case i guess xD The lubed switches look like this IRL as this SKBM slider looks on this pic. I don't think that'd be the case since my late pine ivories are not...

Thank you for your contribution. I'll add it to the Wiki.

If it is a film that covers the entirety of the slider - it was lube.

Hi there
I want to buy a Dell AT102, shipped from the EU.
Thanks for checking out!

Target price: 55$ incl. shipping.

it looks suspiciously like Salmon tactile leaves, and doesn't look like the later black ones. Can you please tell me if it has lubricant on the slider? It Judging by the color, it has. You can wipe it away a bit of with a finger. make sure not to wipe it on the side rails. Even the oranges have hole...

I can get these pictures for you in a bit - but I can tell you for certain that the tactile leaf is not the same as in Salmon/Ivory - there's no hole. They look functionally identical to those in SKCM Cream but the spring weight is heavier. My current thought is that Black is to Cream as Salmon is ...

Hi there I need some picture to make understanding the Alps timeline a bit more. The wiki is also a bit weak regarding SKCM Blacks, especially the pine variety. What pics do I need? A picture of an early pine Black switch, specifically the tactile leaf, from multiple angles. I want to compare them w...

The rollover is worse on my M0118 than on my AEK II. I did not find anything nasty about the AEK II so far, but the M0118 was disappointingly bad rolloverwise.

Yeah you can't go wrong with a cheap apple board (specifically an AEK II) and a 10$ teensy 2.0, but the AT101(w) is a good option too. Tho, the apple boards have a way better keycap set, and the ADB to USB converter is very well programable, and you can do some very sweet stuff with that.

Removing the factory lubricant from SKCM switches immediately makes them awful. The lube is there for a reason. Except of course, if you are suggesting that the brilliant ALPS engineers, after they have designed one of the best switches of all time , were incompetent and stupid enough to pay more a...

hi there I got an M0118 and theese Salmon switches are only barely tactile, rather close to being linear, close to MX Blue or dare I say, browns. I've asked the same on the desktority discord, but I want to ask you guys too what are your oppinion on the thing. I know that for a fact that I overtacti...

This tutorial was based on white, short switchplates. Most likely appliable to tall ones too, since they work the same way. ONLY FOLLOW THIS TUTORIAL AT YOUR OWN RISK! YOU CAN RUIN YOUR SWITCH(ES) IF YOU ARE NOT CAREFULL ENOUGH! Also, sorry for my broken english. I tried my best. This tutorial is ap...

Definitely cool. Does this keyboard have a plastic mounting plate and 5-Pin DIN?

Yes.
And judging by the locklights, it's made by Ortek.

Hi there
How well does the OKS477 work by itself?

Are you gonna make a separate video about aircraft carriers too? xD There, a free april 1st joke idea.

hi there
what kind of keyboard it is exactly? you would help out a lot by telling it.

Hi there,
I'd like to buy one of each switch. Please send me a PM if you happened to have any, or you know someone who can have.

-Tactile cream non-damped (SKCMAF)
-Tactile green (SKCMAT)
-Clicky Amber

Thanks for checking out!

Price lower.

Edited again, bump.

Edited, bump.

CURRENTLY NOT FOR SALE! -Switches cleaned, at least 8/10 mostly (scroll lock and pause bind badly on corner presses). Type OA2 clones. Attached before and after pictures. Took me 2 afternoons. :mrgreen: -Dubleshoot ABS mostly, except Ctrl, Alt, Caps Lock, maybe Tab, Shift. Those are pad printed. Ctr...

Hi. I see you have quite a lot of inspiration and decision to actually do (at least) some really interesting experiments. If you don't mind I would like to suggest another similar switches to put an eye on, like Fujitsu magnetic reed tactile, HTK and ProWorld MX. It's clear that the leaf is the cor...

Price lowered by 50€s.
250->200€s.
Also I put it up to ebay for 230.

EDIT: Sold on eBay.

I'm pretty sure I have found lube on OA2 Clones as well. Same kind of deal, as I found on my SKCM Ivory.
