I had an idea of building my own Full Size ALP SKCM Blue mechanical keyboard using a Matias Tactile Pro PCB and custom full size keyboard case. I wonder if someone have same idea as me.
I had look at Nathan Kim's LZ CLS keyboard with ALP blue which give me a possible to make one with ALP SKCM Switches.
(I don't like 64% layout as I prefer a Ginormous size keyboard. )
Matias Tactile Pro + ALP SKCM + Custom case

Alps mods are pretty common. One thing to note is that newer boards use RoHS solder that doesn't melt or flow as easily, so, you'll have a heck of a time desoldering the old switches. But this should work just fine.

Leeku 1800 PCB
Leeku 3000 PCB
Not that I know where to get them now, perhaps some Korean connection?

Well, I guess alp deserve all cap because they are the best mechanical switch in the world. I cannot believe gamer have to use a Cherry MX and Rubber dome like Logitech G15 or any early gaming keyboard for gaming when Alp are much better.
