What to do with ALPS SKFR switches

I acquired a pair of old replacement keyboards for some real old laptops where the switches were still mechanical. They were the low profile ALPS SKFR which actually feel pretty decent, especially the linears that are so smooth presumably since they're effectively NOS. I was thinking that I'd follow...
