I've tried asking and all they have said is that they don't carry/make anything of the sort. :c

ALPS plate compatibility
I (not so recently) purchased a PCB off of Aliexpress, as it supported ALPS and had a 40% layout that I wanted to try out for mobile typing. I got my switches, (Alps SKCM Cream Dampened), and have some keycaps. But I have since hit a brick wall. I need to get a case for this thing, and although I ...

Okay, so courtesy of Macboarder I ended up getting my hands on an NOS SKCC green PCB and plate combo, but I need help adapting it to usb. I know, I am a complete newbie to adapting projects like this, but I felt that it was a thousand times better than desoldering these switches from their steel ...

when asking for help about a pcb, it is extremely helpful to post detailed photos of the pcb itself that has the problem, both sides so then we can help with what could be the issue, usually it is fairly simple things however without a photo there is little help that we can give.

A few questions
So, after finally finding time to myself I decided that I finally wanted too through with a build. This would be sort of a primer to the one I discussed waaaay far back about SKCC Alps, as I want to familiarize myself with soldering after a long while of not practicing.
Anywho, as I was testing my ...

Finding Actuation Forces Sources!
So, I'm working on a compilation of data and was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction! For one of my projects at school, I've taken it upon myself to try and make things interesting and make my project about keyboards. The gist is: does actuation force increase/decrease over ...

Solenoids are pretty standard components, and all they do is jackhammer against the case. Technically you could use other solenoids as well.
Would you happen to have any more information? I'm quite interested in adding a solenoid to one of my boards but I haven't been able to find any information ...

Well, this thing is not a keyboard, its a calculator. I know what it is, its a Victor 1665, but the switches are whats weird to me. Any ideas? Sorry the pictures are awful, its basically cross mount black switches. Definitely not MX, for sure.

I also own the IBM "Pingmaster" (hate that name) but I could never sacrifice any part of it for anything else but I like the idea of your project!

They can be disassembled like SKCM.
Nope, not in the same way. Much more tedious to open them. Close to impossible for many like myself. You and consideringquiet may be able to do so with "ease" on the other hand. ;)
Nope, not me! I had to take apart an Orange Alps switch because of a broken off ...

I'm curious to know what you think about plate springs, I have tried out one of the IBM laptops with plate springs and thought it was too odd feeling to use. It has the same issue that all plate springs seem to have which is the up stroke is louder and snappier then the down stroke.
