This poll is about cylindrical key caps for ALPS switches!

In this group buy, Standard kits should be available as a complete kit or in parts, containing:
- 1 unit keys for 10-key less boards,
- numpad keys,
- function keys,
- modifiers,
- return keys (m, J, L),
- space bars

In addition, there will be at least the following national layouts available:
AT, DE, DK, ES, FI, FR, IT, NO, SE, SI, Colemak, Dvorak, Mac, Win, ...

If you don't find your dream color, please suggest what you would like ...

I'm interested in some white keys with red text.
Is this groupbuy included in the cherry buys?

Edit: make that two, one tenkeyless, one normal, SE layout

what's that switch for?
same switch like on the VorteX?

chaning layout?

Thinking of changing layout on the Ortek i've bought, It's german ISO which is identical to SE layout exept 3 keys.
And I have another Alps board with worn and ugly keys, this is an original SE layout.

Will not change layout on the Poker, why would I when it's dual layer and ANSI?

i dont know what you mean?


i said the same switch is ON the poker,
which will change the layout.

also i asked if it was the same on the poker

The dip switch on the Poker has 4 switches, so it's not the same, what it does exactly, I don't know.
I thought you meant key switch...

naw man :p

If you don't stop spamming you will get no Roller Mouse![1]

These key caps are for ALPS switches!

[1] You won't get it anyway, because it is mine already!

I misread the title as 'Spherical'. I'm such an optimist.

Wait, when you say Black on White. I assume its black text on a white key?

Black on White is black text on a white key.

How are you going to deal with stabilizers? That might be an issue on the extended keys because most Alps boards probably use different ways to attach them.

Also you need to deal with a number of different Return/Backspace/Backslash configurations...
Standard ANSI (AT101/W, Leading Edge, AEK/II, Filco Zero, ABS M1, Matias Tactile Pro, etc.)


Large L-shaped Enter + Large backspace + small backslash next to right shift (Omnikey, FK-2001, several other Taiwanese Alps, others)


Large L-shaped Enter + Small backspace + small backslash (ASK-6600, Chicony KB-5181, and others)


Bottom row is also an issue. You need 1.5x Alt and Ctrl, possibly backslash and * (present on a number of Alps boards on bottom row), and 1.33x Ctrl, Alt, and win for AT101W and the other Windows boards. As for AEK/AEKIIs, you need 1.5x on Ctrl and Option, and 1.33x Alt.

Bump!

Because Round 3 stuff starts to ship in a few days, I want to bring this up again.

Round 4 will start immediately after the majority of Round 3 key caps have shipped, which will be at end of June.

Please post you ideas of what you would like to have here, or set up your own thread.

My Zero would love a set on non-boring cylindrical caps.
