Ok, it's 25-years old shitty music. Sorry! And stick to MX style of switches, don't tell me now that Silo or Hall Effect is MX platform just because vendors pitied your keycaps "investments" and thought of throwing you a bone. Click Leaves??

See, you're cherry-picking my statements... we were talking about platforms: inclusion, equality, diversity, etc. Right? Alps the better one! Nobody feels special using Alps. Just lucky boards still survived... Seeing people throwing more money at the MX platform is saddening, it's so -again- limite...

I mean... the fact that you like shitty music doesn't change the fact that the music is... shitty. Objectively speaking.

The Alpha's are Hiragana with a mixture of Lavender, Purple, Light Blue and Black Dye-subs with Coral flair, and a split space. What is this, a wine tasting event? Overall, i'm pretty pleased with it. Sooo... you're saying there's a chance you could sell that? :lol: Congrats, amazing piece!

Re: All right, what's up with these linear Alps?

Smoothness-wise, you can't beat those modern contactless switches. However, linear Alps very much have a certain je ne sais quoi to them, like you said. Linear Alps were also the first linears I liked, as it happens :) . Greens are lighter than yellows, so if you think they're a little bit too stif...

I kept one just as I bought it and another that I transplanted orange sliders and leaves into (from a similarly excellent AEK2, which also turn up pristine from time to time), and I actually prefer that one.
AEK2 with oranges?? Any way to distinguish them from creams and whites?

A very fine glass nail file at start and continued with one of those rubbery nail files. Care is needed to keep some parts of the base sharp... you'll see what I mean if you study it carefully. If you've straighten everything (90 degree angles), you still get a good click in a smooth blue alps but n...

Re: What should green alps feel like?

Has anyone tried to polish the side of a alps slider ? To get rid of any roughness or scratchiness that results form wear ? It's the rails that are usually at fault; not sure how one would polish them tbh. It's not always the rails or the sides of the slider, in my experience is more the base of th...

Great switches, no question, tons of thanks to lsoelxi for doing this GB! They are really good but not *that* good, not blue-alps-good :) They're not first gen whites, the clicky leaf is more abrupt (straight angles, not rounded) and the plastic materials are different and also thinner.

Any patterns/apparent problems on the sliders or with the switches in general. E.g. the recent skcl yellows got those strange patterns on the slider and are therefore not very smooth.
Anyway, +256 SKCM, thanks!

Wondering if anybody here got a black clicky kind of space invaders in great shape and with a big backspace. I think they're called NMB RT 102 (ISO), but maybe there are other brands.
