Hi dude, I really wish I had the money for this, but just a recommendation, I don't see a lot of super expensive boards sell here, you might wanna try the reddit mechmarket. Theres a lot of silicon valley types there, that both have the money, and the will to buy boards in that price category.

Hi, I have some loose switches if you're interested in diying your own keyboard with monterey blues

I bought a really pristine (as far as I can tell) m0116 from ebay, with salmon Alps, its got literally 0 yellowing, but I prefer my topre boards, pm me if you're interested http://imgur.com/gallery/zWRcdC3

considering I have about 6 leftover ...

I have done this before and from my experience I can say that, while the mod is good, the result is not as nice as early skcm white alps nor blue alps. If you are a clicky switch person you should see if you like white alps first before click modding oranges or spending money on blue alps ...

Orange Alps are very nice. Use them for a while and you might well like them as-is.

Ok thank you very much, I'll do that, like I said, I've got very limited experience with different switches. The only mechanical keyboard which I own is one with cherry reds which I frequently mistype on due to ...

Hi guys, I will spend the next months planning and building my first ever custom keyboard. This after impulse buying Orange Alps from the GB hosted by novelkeys, which I have heard much praise surrounding (from amongst others chyrosran22.) I have heard that the oranges are the best tactile switches ...
