For once, it doesn't matter if it's not clean! I want to do a restoration video (along with some experiments I want to run) for Alps switches and this is a perfect opportunity to kill two birds with one stone. And of course there will also be an FK-555 review and a TDXL!
Let me know if anyone has a Focus 555 with blue Alps
.
(a clean one is also not a problem, then I'll get another project board xD)

Ah man Chyros, I almost would have been able to hit you up on this offer, but the blue Alps FK-555 I was going to have got lost in the mail. (The tracking number has been active for 4 months now with no update, they haven't been able to find it)

Well, I want to do some experiments on blue Alps in sub-par condition to see if and to what degree I can restore them, and THEN make a video about the findings (as an update to my now rather outdated Alps restoration video). I also need a blue Alps FK-555. Seems like a good way to combine the two

You have to give the US Post Office credit. People love to hate on them, but they almost always come through, eventually.

Way too many non Alp keyboard enthusiast destroy them just because they think they are junk! White Alp probably next to become rare. and then probably a Cherry MX vintage black too!
