That's cool! Thanks, I just wanted to make sure I hadn't messed up.

[zhasha]

I ordered a pitiful 4 switches and entered my address (and got paypal confirmation) the 17th of April and I've yet to see them. Now I'm getting worried. Germany->Denmark should not take two months.

Any help would be much appreciated.

[7bit]

Shipped.


Sorry for the delay of your unimportant mini-order.


I still have some switches in stock:
1441 clicky (ALPSMC)
1509 tactile (ALPSMT)

[zhasha]

Shipped.

Much appreciated. I was afraid the Danish post system had lost it. Don't worry though, I'll most likely order a 200 pack in the near future when I confirm that these switches are in fact superior to the rather disappointing MX Blue/Brown

[Muirium]

I have just the one of each and can say that they're certainly different to MX brown and blue. The tactile Matias is much heavier than a brown. Good! It's more like a clear. The clicky one is quite nice (I'm all about the clicks) with a lower pitch, more Alpsy click than a blue's. I'd like to make a keyboard out of them, but the trouble's in the caps once you look further than Cherry.

Matias doesn't sell those too, does he? Without buying the keyboard under them…

[7bit]

I'm quite sure it wil;l not take long until there is an Alps key caps group buy (sphericals).

I like the clicky ones. The tactile Alps Matias are not so good, but better than clears.

[Muirium]

Spherical. Alps. Space Cadet.

[7bit]

No, the Hall effects would have been the right switches. I wanted to order some, but they where already sold out.

The nearest thing are vintage blacks, because the Hall effects are linear.

[Muirium]

True.

If you must insist on substance over style…

[7bit]

Alps switches anybody?

[Muirium]

All in good time! I can order alongside Cherry MX for a combined order, with 4 € postage for the lot, right?

[zhasha]

Alps switches anybody?

If someone were to say... arrange a group buy for [D]SA ALPS keycaps, maybe these switches, by virtue of being absolutely awesome, would sell like hotcakes.

[7bit]

First order your switches. Then I start the group buy!

[zhasha]

First order your switches. Then I start the group buy!

I will order 200 or 400 clicky switches today if you make a group buy of (doubleshot) SA ALPS stem keycaps happen.

[Muirium]

Indeed! White, with centred black Helvetica dyesub legends!

I will order 200 or 400 clicky switches today if you make a group buy of (doubleshot) SA ALPS stem keycaps happen.

First order and pay. Then, the SA-family ALPS group buy starts soon!

[Muirium]

A Matias standoff, if you will.

[zhasha]

First order and pay. Then, the SA-family ALPS group buy starts soon!

Give me a definition of soon and I will send the money for those two packs you just saw come in.

[7bit]

Hyper comes first, then Round 5.

[zhasha]

So I take it the ALPS stuff comes in round 5, which is in what, a couple of months? I'm new; have no idea what hyper is.

[xSpartanCx]

So many types of switches, so little money!

Is there any way I can combine this order with that of the Cherry switches to save on shipping?

Also, what is the SA family?

[7bit]

Yes, just order.

[zhasha]

Yes, just order.

Ordered 400 clicky switches. Your move 7bit.

[pasph]

We need 65% and 75% Alps Hyper kb

[xSpartanCx]

Yes, just order.

Will there be another payment update on this thread, or do I have to look at the cherry thread to see if my second payment went through?

[7bit]

You can send a message to CherryMX:

Code: Select all

You will get a new invoice which might be updated.

[7bit]

Most of them are sold, but still, some are available!

[Muirium]

Good stuff. Which one's people's favourite, so far? My bet's on clicky.

[002]

I have one of each on my desk at work and the clicky one definitely gets more mileage as a stress reliever
