Since these copy-cat sample version are very expensive, unkown quality and actually unkown manufacturer (I've got a confirmation that it is NOT kailh), I'm not sure if there's any reason to order even the samples. It's not like 7bit's going to run out soon :p
Ask them if they have lATCHING aLPS: i lIKE tHOSE.

I have clones for a couple of varieties. All intending to be broken and tested for everyones amusement =)
They are not from Kailh and they all feel very very nice.

I intend to make a review of all of them over time. Thinking of fun ways to try the quality out as mentioned before.

With these contraptions I hope to provide the community with lots of cool info and maybe new standards to judge quality by! And in a consistent / repeatable manner.

Short on funds and tools since I've recently moved across the globe (back home to SWE from AUS), so to actually make these "testing-rigs" that I'm dreaming of will take some time but they will come though!

These is what I've got right now.
MX:
Black
Red
Brown
Blue

ALPS (this is just stem-color, not a description of function. I can give more detail later)
Grey
White

NOTE: The MX LOCK mentioned earlier is from another 3rd party manufacturer! :O So I have no clue about the quality of them.

Matias has no grey stems, so...

Yes, now they have! It is the same scratch-tactile they made with a white stem earlier.

Want some?

The white-stem scratch-tactile is now a very rare switch!!!

I have only touched buckling-spring, membrane and MX switches before so I wasn't completely sure if it was ALPS =)

Even Alps experts can't tell you if it's Alps. They've been to the vortex and back. You can tell them by their thousand yard stare…

As I (Zeroni13 on GH) said earlier I'm interested in 25 pcs, my friend Blackbox (on GH) is also interested in about 25 pcs.
So that's a total of 50 pieces on me.
