deskthority

Like alps? Like desk space? Me too, that's why I made a modern custom board with as much empty space as possible to give alps switches the breathing they're used to in vintage chassis.



The board uses standard bakeneko mounting posts so many alps 60% pcbs will be compatible so long as they use a unified daughter board. The kit will ship with a POM plate(Carbon Fiber, steel and Alu are also on the table), o-ring and Gvalch'ca GA15.0 pcb. Other supported pcbs such as the h60, 4pplet and others will also work but the plan is to also allow people to add multiple extra pcbs to their order for a very reasonable price.

The pink polycarbonate board will soon be on it's way to Karolus for higher quality videos to be recorded. If you aren't acquainted with his youtube channel or storefront you would be doing yourself a disservice not to.

If you have any questions about the board or upcoming alps customs (of which there are many) I made a discord server for the project & will do my best to answer any questions there. I'll also try and check this post daily for questions.

this is really nice, I have been looking for a kb where to put my 5140 brown alps and this looks fantastic to be honest

Good layout support:



I’ve answered the IC. Can’t select wood case *and* alu case, though. Both of those are appealing, but I’m not interested in poly. Really want either a black anodised alu or a nice deep dark wood. I’ve a load of creams looking for a good home, so this could be a nice place for them.

Is the case also compatible with Hasu’s Alps 64 PCB? If so, I could move my blues in there.

Making the case compatible with alps64 would be the bomb!! Also the option to buy extra POM plates would be appreciated.

If it’s Alps64 compatible: it’s irresistible.
If it ain’t: change that!
