Re: Alps Appreciation
Well it is worth to note that blue itself went through multiple changes as well so there are different versions of skcm blue. There I just dig the rabbit hole deeper for ya Absolutely, only it's worse than that, because the case and keycaps make as much difference as the switches. I have probably h...

Re: Alps Appreciation
I mean, besides from being careful while doing all the soldering... Not really? There are plenty tutorials and guides here for the dismantling process. Really soldering? I thought i can swap only the switches without soldering. Like in this pic i thought i have to swap only the orange marked parts....

Re: Alps Appreciation
Is there something i should watch out for while swapping Blue Alps into a White Alps Keyboard?thefarside wrote: ↑05 May 2023, 23:01My recommendation would be an Omni Key 102 or similar Northgate keyboard. If it has white alps you could swap your blues in.

Re: Alps Appreciation
I'm the one you got your keyboard from 😂 Yes, i thought so, don't get me wrong the keyboard works fine it's just the sound who is a little bit off, :D Yeah no worries, as I said the chicony is not the best keyboard to try blue Alps on. Yeah, i think i'm gonna risk it and try other keycaps with it.

Re: Alps Appreciation
I was referring to cleaning the switches, lubing them with the recommended methods and such. The general premise with precious Alps like Blues seems to be to do as little as necessary tho. If the feel and condition is good but the sound is off, don't open up the switches. Like people said before, c...

Re: Alps Appreciation
What do you understand under restoring, cleaning them up and such? Because the switches don't seem to be dirty it's just their sound is high pitched.

Re: Alps SKCM Brown and Alps in general
Matias makes a clone of the “simplified” Alps switch, though most (all) enthusiasts would say that the simplified Alps were far inferior to the “complicated” Alps of the SKCM/SKCL series, and the Matias switches are plasticy and a poor substitute for vintage Alps. So yes, desolder or buy them from ...

Re: Alps SKCM Brown and Alps in general
Doesn't the Dell AT101W have Black Alps?
I have a Dell AT102W and it has Black Alps, which are fine for gaming i must say. They are tactile.
But you can mod the Black Alps into linear Switches which are ideal for gaming.

Re: Alps Appreciation
So i got my Dell AT102W with Black Alps today.
I really like it and it would be my primary Keyboard if i wouldn't have a White Alps Keyboard.
But it's very nice so far.

Re: Are Alps keycaps harder to take off than Cherry keycaps?
Blue Alps for instance really are better than MX blue. This forum's been alive for over 10 years, but people still haven't absorbed the fact that these things are subjective.

Re: Alps Appreciation
My advice would be to ask about the condition of the switches if possible. Loose switches are hard to tell if there’s binding, but the wax mod seems to rectify most issues. To give you an idea the picture below is a super dirty blue Alps board I purchased and it will clean up very nice but it will ...
