Hey everyone, picked up these orange rubber keycaps online and thought I'd make a video on them. Thanks for checking it out, if anyone has any comments or suggestions let me know! This is my first sorta "review" so any help is much appreciated.

Like your video and it's nice seeing more obscure Alps key-caps that are available.
Please post more videos showing the Alps World because we all need more of it these days.

I believe those are made by Tai-Hao, They made a lot of Alps stuff back in the day, those gamery keycaps came with keyboards that had APC switches, like you said. And APC are from Tai-Hao I reckon.
Good review, I do like the short but informative format.

Here's an embed:
Take the bit of the url after the / and wrap [ youtube ] tags around it.
Oh hey, I remember those caps! They were in the Surprise Box a few years back, I think. Weren't they Tai Hao? I think Beardsmore got them from a contact there. Maybe the ones I'm thinking of were MX mount, but they looked identical, were just arrows and WASD, in that same flat orange rubber.

Thank you, I'll definitely be exploring more Alps stuff as I acquire it. Some of the Alps keycaps out there are beautiful and I hope to get a set eventually to review.Elrick wrote: 26 Jan 2019, 04:57 Like your video and it's nice seeing more obscure Alps key-caps that are available.

Thanks for the feedback. APC switches are made by Tai-Hao, you can find them on their site or Aliexpress.Myoth wrote: 26 Jan 2019, 11:11 I believe those are made by Tai-Hao, They made a lot of Alps stuff back in the day, those gamery keycaps came with keyboards that had APC switches, like you said.

I definitely like finding more obscure things. That's the main reason I made my channel, to cover things that people may not know about.kakan wrote: 26 Jan 2019, 11:57 What a wierd little keycap. I've always liked the more obscure thing.
