Please make a different case. No seriously, it looks too cheap and bad.. I'm sure for cheap you can still make a decent looking case !

Is it a language or cultural barrier? One of my past buyers expected free gifts just because, and then rejected said no when I said no free gifts to him. Don't understand sometimes

Damn the amount of hostility for someone just trying to sell his keyboard, clearly this community has been through a lot, too jaded.

Re: Alps Lubricant FOUND!
Surprisingly contact leaves and switch plate contribute significantly to switch feel.. I just swapped NOS housing and sliders, and still the difference is clear..

Re: Alps Lubricant FOUND!
Before this I remember you said you tried using sandpaper to smooth out scratched alps housings. What grit of sandpaper did you use? Sanding, in combination with good lubricant might be able to save many alps switches

Btw would love to read more on how you polish some of the sliders and/or housings. Have some unsalvagable blue alps but perhaps some sandpaper can fix it up. 1500 grit good enough?

Re: Alps Appreciation
