I'll send you some when I get them to test

I also ordered those and in hindsight I might sell those off too. Literally a couple of weeks after the drop ends, Massdrop has a new set of Tai Hao keys which look great!

seebart · 01 May 2018, 19:18

Yeah the Tai Hao caps are actually pretty decent for the pricetag.

waldorf120 · 01 May 2018, 19:18

Are those Alps mount?

waldorf120 · 01 May 2018, 19:23

Holy canoli! That's amazing! It's a dream come true! I'm in for 3 of each

Blaise170 · 01 May 2018, 19:32

Alps keysets have been stuck on just a few different colors for years and now they decide to release new colors.

pyrelink · 01 May 2018, 19:42

I have no real plans for any of these switches but how can anyone pass up NOS Alps? I would like to build an Alps TKL board sometime. Maybe I will use these yellow alps...

Chyros · 01 May 2018, 22:09

Mother titfuck! Those caps look pretty nice! Can't seem to find an option to get them though Oo . Can anyone that knows their way around Massdrop point me in the right direction?

Thanks! At £23 that's pretty reasonable ^^ .

Thanks for sharing this. Definitely interested in that blue set.

Lbibass · 02 May 2018, 00:52

I'm interested in about 100?

hanonator · 02 May 2018, 08:41

I'm interested in buying around 200

Blaise170 · 02 May 2018, 09:09

Would anyone be interested in Alps clone switches? I am buying some of these myself, 10 for $1 (without shipping) basically. Don't know anything about them but they might be good if you repair boards and need a switch here or there.

May I have 20 please in addition to the Yellow ALPS I ordered? I’m just curious to try out these clones.

Wow! Taihao should make Skeletor colored keycaps! They would be very cool (and affordable)

Lbibass · 02 May 2018, 19:30

Actually, any chance that I could change my order to 130 switches? interested in some more right now.

codemonkeymike · 02 May 2018, 22:18

I would be down for 120 of these switches. Also thanks @Blaise170 for pointing out that set on massdrop, bought 2.

jacobtrees1221 · 03 May 2018, 02:13

I'd like to get in on 50 skcl yellows.

Vewy_nice · 03 May 2018, 18:25

I'll add 50 of the "unknown" switches, why not? I have an alps 40% build coming up, and if they're interesting enough, I might use them.

Blaise170 · 03 May 2018, 19:21

I added payment information to the original post for reference. I also contacted the seller who does not do any volume discounts on the switches, but these are still incredibly cheap considering even Cherry switches cost just as much. If you have any questions about payment or related GB matters, please contact me or ask in the thread and I'll answer to the best of my knowledge.

livingspeedbump · 03 May 2018, 22:27

I'll take 90 of the yellows and 90 of the "unknowns"

Bass · 04 May 2018, 09:36

Sign me up for 90 yellows.

Blaise170 · 04 May 2018, 16:48

I've sent a PM to the group requesting your email for PayPal invoicing. If you did not receive a PM, please send me your email address so that I can send you the first invoice. Meanwhile, the buy will remain open until 11:59PM on 06 May 2018.

Abstractions · 06 May 2018, 06:29

I'm interested in 120 yellows and 20 clones.

green-squid · 06 May 2018, 17:23

BTW, same seller has SKCM Black Alps. Could be interesting, I would love to own a tactile mechanical keyboard.

How do you even search the rest of the seller's store? I tried clicking on his store but it just tells me that the page can't be loaded.

superdeluxe · 06 May 2018, 21:32

I would be in for 180 of the yellow switches. I sent a PM a few hours ago, but it appears to be stuck in the "Outbox" (?).

Blaise170 · 07 May 2018, 00:03

Outbox just means I haven't logged in to view it. I'll be sending out invoices soon, I've been a bit delayed.
