Re: Glorious GMMK Pro review (Glorious Pandas)
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?? As in Alps-invented ones or which ones you mean? HAHAHAHAH...

Re: Glorious GMMK Pro review (Glorious Pandas)
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...

Re: Glorious GMMK Pro review (Glorious Pandas)
I mean... the fact that you like shitty music doesn't change the fact that the music is... shitty. Objectively speaking. There's a reason why the entire French rap didn't get as many awards as Beatles, for example :) I'm all for inclusion, and Alps was a great platform, offering a wide variety of ta...

Re: Glorious GMMK Pro review (Glorious Pandas)
Wouldn't miss the opportunity to support the discussion with an objective view: MX is a piece of shit platform, except if you're into having a #diverseLED #colourful #stupidly-made-from-metal keyboard which sounds and feels like crap - which, btw, are the most important cues when typing; and I would...

Re: Fujitsu Xerox J-Star
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...

Re: Alps Lubricant FOUND!
Well, we think we found as close as we're gonna get. TB1855 is a silicone based JIS spec grease that seems to be a direct descendant of the original Alps lube, at least in terms of composition. The only problem is getting a sample of it, as it is not available online anywhere except within Malaysia...

Re: ALPS and POM vs. nylon sliders
I, for one, appreciate your determination. Sure, some people here have their own... uhm... hidden interests, but you need to try detecting useful feedback.

Re: What should green alps feel like?
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...

Re: [GB] NOS Alps SKCM White
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. Those thick ...

Re: '93 Alps Switch Catalog
A few weeks ago, I found an electronics store that had been supplying Alps swtich for a long time. I was able to find a large amount of Alps SKCM White. I sold the switch without margin to supply Alps White to many people. I’m certain that everyone here is super grateful for what you’re doing for t...

Re: [IC] NOS Alps SKCM White, Futaba MA41
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!

Making SKCM Blues is impossible. We need serious stuff to determine how are the switches made.

I'd certainly spend all of my hobby budget on a brand new Alps kickstarter/group buy. Let's just do it! THIS! Philosophers are and will be everywhere, and, if you listen to their reasoning, the only switch whose existence makes sense now is the rubber dome. Until the next cost-cutting invention, wh...

NMB RT 102
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.
Let me know, thank you!
