Board Renders

Want to get into Alps but don't know where to start? Pick up a set of DCS Alps keycaps in a timeless colorway, and maybe grab some plates and switches while you're at it.

Vendors (where to buy):

Kitting
  • Offering 7 kits - Base, Numpad, Spacebar, 40's, ISO, Macros, Relegendables
  • Base kit is priced at $120 in the US
  • Kit Renders

General Information
  • Keycaps are doubleshot ABS plastic, white (WFK) on black (NN), produced by Signature Plastics (SP)
  • Profile is DCS 1-1-2-3-4-4
  • Switch mounts are Alps, stabilizer mounts are MX.
  • GB will run August 31 to September 30 with estimated fulfillment Q3 2023.
  • MOQs are: Base (200), Numpad (50), Spacebar (75), 40's (50), ISO (25), Macros (50), Relegendables (75)
  • Disclaimer: by design, Alps keycap stems are more fragile than MX stems. Please carefully remove keycaps with a wire puller, don't yank them at an angle! Vendors are not responsible for broken stems.

Exclusive NOS Alps Switches & Plates
Bear Cables (ships worldwide, except UK) will be offering new-old-stock (NOS) Alps SKCM White and forged carbon fiber plates.
  • SKCM White are a medium-weight, clicky switch that can be made linear by simply removing the click leaf, if desired. Unfortunately, quantities of SKCM White are limited, and will be sold FCFS.
  • Plates offered will all be approximately 1.1mm thick and made of forged carbon fiber. Four designs will be offered - 60% (gummy o-ring & tray mount), Jane V1, Jane V2, and Jane V2 CE.

Unfortunately since Alps is a niche market, kits like Norde would never hit MOQ since it appeals to a small subgroup within an already small group.

Thank you though for the feedback - hopefully in the future modern Alps keycaps with more international compatibility can come to fruition :)

DCS Alps WoB extras are now live! All keycap kits are available in varying quantities, and some 60% and Jane v2 ME/CE plates are available too. No extra switches, sorry.

Sad that I missed this group buy but Bear Cables at least still has some extras. They are out of numpads though. Anyone have the numpad set I can buy?
