Re: Just Finished! Alps SKCM Brown Winkeyless TKL on a Budget!

Your spacebar sounds better than mine, in my opinion. Any particular tweaking you did to it?
I simply peeled the foams from the plate, they were damaged.

Out of curiosity I want to see what you think the best sounding keyboard is. I've heard a lot of talk about Blue alps, Holy pandas, IBM beamspring keyboards (I love that sound though) but are their any ones even better than that.
"Keyboard"? Well then. Chicony Kb-5161a with blue alps switches.

Re: Alps Appreciation

So, few days ago i manage to buy 2 keyboards, one of them was Fame TH-5539-5 with genuine skcm pine alps switches. All i found was 5539-5 were found only with clones or aruz switches so there it is. It's also really early model, no.0004157. https://i.imgur.com/v5aW5Gx.jpg https://i.imgur.com/cDaLKLt...

If you're looking specifically for an Alps ANSI keyboard, that's easy: Dell AT101, but that doesn't have double-shots.
First models (old logo) has alps doubleshots, even with color legends.

But man, what a fantastic feeling.

I would think that something like that, but with plastic studs for the pivot wouldn't bee too difficult to do, and would hopefully smoother than an all metal part.
It's actually interesting, because they are insanely smooth. I need model f to compare but it's definitely better than model m.

In case someone is interested, this is how the flippers look on the Polish ICE (Model F AT clone)

It's probably easier and cheaper to get metal flippers made
