As a minimalist I prefer buckling springs over clicky switches, and as a purist I am not tempted to solder around and mod anything, "keep everything original as possible " is my motto. However, this keyboard I got recently has died due to failed IC; to slavage the Blue Alps switches is the only thing worth doing, so I desoldered them...Some of the switches have lost their clickiness; it's necessary to open and restore them to their original state. I found it's a rather addictive process, and it can give peace to your mind, that's why I call it the Zen of Blue Alps. If you let me choose between Cherry Blue MX and Blue Alps I'd choose the latter definitely, not because it's rarer or superior in tactility or clickiness but because of its serviceable design.
How to make it clicky agian:
I adopted the method that Chyros mentioned in his video at first and found that both too wide and too narrow of the "V" shape metal plate will make the switch lose its click, you need to re-open the switch many times to find the sweet spot by chance...and I found another way which almost works everytime, pinch the root of the "V" a little bit you might not discern the difference with you naked eyes but it will make the switch click like new.
