Does anyone have experience transplanting Alps into a KBParadise V80 Keyboard?
I have one with Matias clicky switches, and I want to try transplanting some NOS white or blue Alps into it. Unfortunately, KBParadise no longer sells DYI kits for these.


If you're decent with a solder sucker and a ...

Vito300 Ellipse is correct PBT warping, which is exactly why some companies don't use it for longer keys such as the space bar (HHKB...looking at you).

One way to get rid of warping is to repeatedly heat the key in warm water and unbend the warping. YMMV and you'll need to become and expert ...

Here you go, for only a few thousand dollars! https://www.ebay.com/itm/256265861852?hash=item3baaa2badc:g:Ln8AAOSw~T9lNTVm&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAA4AZWXOu1VOOdcdEipsCPRnj3hrROkawMLuVxc5AqekT87ByCf2PBakVnQz%2BTTkEFyPtyDHtzPnesu5YrXYv1IpZhwe3xEco8kgcrM3rsJUayQh87iloIJUsJ3uyfxlYH20Se0nEPN5%2FIXD ...

There were two recent xerox sales: first an auction of a 6085 board, where the seller didn’t disclose the switch despite knowing it was browns. That was sold by known scammer Rajkeymari, and went for well under $1000, so I figured OP was referring to that one.

The second was a Docutech with neon ...

Let's quickly clarify something.

keebmeup renamed himself on eBay to zrrion, so the boards you are thinking are being sold from a trusted community member are actually from keebmeup (the well known market manipulating scammer)


Unbelievable, but you are correct, and that explains everything ...

Also, would like to just second what polecat said just to be clear. Zrrion is in no way a scammer, I've been lurking this forum and others for the last four or so years and I've always seen him contributing positively. I messaged him on ebay the other day asking about possibly buying some neon ...

Is there any way you can send me a spacebar that is straight?

The driver board does not need to be mounted, though you can come up with your own mounting ideas (double sided tape, 3d printed solution, etc.).

Hello, I just put together my new model f77 last night. Can someone tell me where the heck I'm supposed to mount the solenoid driver board? For some reason they completely skip over that part in the video and the manual..

You made the right decision not bidding, that board was sold by a known scammer who was hiding the fact that it had brown alps to make people bid higher in case it was neons.


Just curious what you meant by it having browns. Are all the keys brown and he put in a green alps to make people ...

Don’t know the price per switch but this might have sold for $2000:

Ugh man, I know the docutec boards go for big bucks. I think the pine greens are a little more desirable and rare. I actually missed one a few months ago that sold on eBay for a good ...

Also, if anyone has some skcm neon greens tell me what you’d want to sell them for if I’m on the low end. It’s a small market and I’d like to get at least 30 of them.

Oh wow really? That's absurd. I haven't seen any sales to base my pricing off of except for some stuff a few years ago when people were buying NOS switches and saying how insane $8 per switch is. Do you have any examples of people selling SKCM greens lately?

I'm planning on putting together a custom alps keyboard here soon and would really love to use some SKCM Neon Green alps, I would prefer Bamboo but I can't be too choosy. I am looking to buy around 30-70 switches depending on the price and availability. The price would be dependent on the condition ...
