Oops I did it again

They're going to murder me

I'm sure 7up 7bit is busy enough packing and shipping as it is

What does that mean for the ALPSMT200 I ordered?

P-please sir, can I have my Matias Tactiles? My coworkers are getting mad at me. 0226

I'm not sure a Vim set is right for me. I'm more of a Notepad guy.

If we can have Alps stemmed SA 1.75u Vim caps then I'll take 5 or 10 (probably 10, depending on price)

I believe you could also have opened all the switches and replaced the spring and clicky leaf with Matias'. No soldering, but could probably have taken more time.
I get my B.Sc. in electrical engineering in a week.
The desoldering only took me about an hour and the replacing and resoldering only ...

So I bought this AT101W brand new and still in the original box on ebay, hence I feel like I've desecrated something. I like the black switches but they're just not really what I was looking for. Then I remembered that 7bit sold me 400 of these lovely new clicky Matias switches.
There was a small ...

Stop it! You're gonna make me !

But will there be Alps stems?

No Alps stemmed caps. 7bit you're making me cry!

Neat! Maybe we could have something more PANICky than this? Although I think I might just stick with this layout if I can get it in Alps

Are there CAPS LOCK alternatives? Am I blind?

If you catch my drift

No, there won't be any di-lay, MOQ will be reached in time and everybody will be yodeling in joy!

THEN WHY WILL 7BIT NOT SHIP ME THE ALPS?!

Oh-di-lay-ee-ay, di-lay-dee-oh, de-lay-ee

Awesome! Now do ALPS!

How about a row 3 1.75u vim key? And HONEY/([^/]+/)*ALPS kits are definitely needed

If I had a gorillion dollars...

It seems that a few of us would like row 4 shift keys in assorted sizes. Since we're talking about that, wouldn't it be awesome to have some row 4 keys to place next to the smaller right shift?

Also, CAPS LOCK replacements anyone? Make my life complete 7bit! ALPS MUST HAPPEN

We meet again

ESCAPE as 1.75 units key, stepped and full-touch might be OK, but the others?
:?
I just meant one of them, not all. It seems to be commonplace for vim users to turn CAPS LOCK into ESCAPE. At least I do it, so there's that.
After all, who in the world actually uses cAPS lOCK?

Ask for that another ...

How's about an ESCAPE, PANIC, or VIM key in place of CAPS LOCK for the people that swing that way?

Also, a certain multinational European mountain range.

How about those row 4 SHIFT keys? Also ALPS.

B...but... I only have 4 Cherry switches... and 400 ALPS switches

I'm fine with that. Surely there are other ultra pedantic people around here who absolutely must have all rows matching down the line or their OCD kicks into overdrive?

Also, I haven't ordered because the future of ALPS mounts seems so uncertain

Will we see row 4 SHIFT keys?
