I'll send you some when I get them to testChyros wrote: ↑No, I didn't, but I'm also hesitant to spend money on them tbh. I don't know anything about the quality or the materials involved, and at the moment I don't hugely need MX compatibility as I have quite a large number of Alps keycaps xD .

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!

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

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

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...

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.

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

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.

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.green-squid wrote: ↑BTW, same seller has SKCM Black Alps. Could be interesting, I would love to own a tactile mechanical keyboard.

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" (?).

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