Matias ALPS / taking orders

[7bit]

2834 clicky (966 in stock)
2412 tactile (1388 in stock)

I must pretend I like the clicky one much more as well.

However, there exist keyboards with superb tactile Alps switches.

I must pretend I like the clicky one much more as well.

Pretend? Why? I agree to your pretense though. A little bit too stiff for me, but a nicer click and less hysteresis than MX blue.

Too bad they used the wrong pin layout and form factor, I would have liked them on an ErgoXYZ.

[7bit]

Because I want to sell the remaining tactiles....

What do you mean with wrong pin layout and form factor?

[Muirium]

Exactly. Wrong = not a Cherry MX clone? Or am I missing something?

I like the Matias form factor. Classic Alps, and better than many of the original and classic clone switches not least as Matias are available brand new. I wish more manufacturers would go with Matias, for a bit of variety. But at any rate, there's some great caps out there that will only take Alps mount.

[vivalarevolución]

You taking CONUS orders or just EU orders?

[7bit]

I ship worldwide.

[7bit]

Alps switches anybody?

[Julle]

Are there any custom PCBs that take ALPS switches and are currently available? All of the ones I've seen so far don't accept orders anymore.

[Muirium]

Good question.

I'm thinking about making a clicky Matias custom, depending on Matt3o's progress with his. Hand wired, though.

[vivalarevolución]

To what user name do I send questions about my order?

How do I make an address change? I want to do that before I make payment. I change address like every 6 months. Have to keep the authorities guessing.

Just send this to CherryMX:

Just a quick question:
Could one solder these switches onto a Filco Zero?

[7bit]

I think Half-Saint offers soldering service. Don't know how much he takes for it.

[Muirium]

Yes, they are Alps clones going into a keyboard full of Alps clones. Should be fine. Probably a nice upgrade.

[fireglow]

Wonderful, thank you.

[vivalarevolución]

Switches arrived today. Thanks! I plan to put these on an Apple IIGS board. Hopefully the pins are in the same place as Orange Alps. Looks like they are and things should work. We'll see.

[7bit]

BUMP!


Still, both kinds are in stock!!!!

¡BUMP!

[Muirium]

Caps and stabs. If we could buy those new, Alps mount switches like Matias would be much more tasty.

[nourathar]

tempted to order a bunch of switches, and if that group buy for Alps sphericals ever happens, I am certainly interested ! And if that would include an option to have blank caps for at least the alpha portion of the keys, that would be competely fantastic...

[mohitgarg]

Paid, waiting for confirmation.

[AKmalamute]

ordered ... I think.

Do I PM your bot a physical address at or about the time I pay?
The email address should be my paypal addr not the account used to activate my forum account (since they're different) ?

EDIT: looks like I guessed right. Money is en route, thus prompting the ubiquitous
I WILL ASK THE BOT WHERE MY SWITCHES ARE! :o #0440

even if I know you're not magic, any updates when you have them would be lovely.
