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

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! :x

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. :roll:

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...

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?

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)

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
