SKCM Green Alps for me. Better feeling than Brown Alps, bigger bump than Orange Alps, and nice and smooth. All around one of the best tactile switches out there. It's too bad they're so rare.

I could not be happier with how it was handled by GMK and Originative.

SKCM Chyros Green :mrgreen: I support this proposal http://i864.photobucket.com/albums/ab207/Chyrosran/8I%20smileys/I8_zpsmkdo4cj9.gif .

Although Nubs used the term "neon green" when he discovered the switch :p . Of course, you can have the wiki redirect "SKCM Green" to whatever we choose to ...

Yeah they said it would be down for the weekend, which doesn't make any sense if the attack is over...
Seriously? I don't understand what they're trying to accomplish with that at all...

Guess there's some similar logic involved as in "making a statement about hacking" by doing a denial of ...

Such a cute little board. The strange legend locations look to be the same as on the MCRW, too:

Were there any stoppers underneath any of the caps?


I'm not sure what you mean by stoppers. It didn't have anything ...

I saw someone else posted about it, but I thought I'd crosspost it here from Geekhack just to share it as well. Posting with higher res and better photos than my original post.

They have a pretty significant bump pretty much right at the beginning, almost like an MX Clear in the size of the bump. The tactile bump is really smooth, but they're not as smooth after that. Not bad, but not super smooth feeling like linear Green Alps.

The color is actually almost closer to neon ...

This is a first for me. I bought the keyboard on the off chance that it might be Brown Alps, but was surprised when I saw green sliders. At first I was disappointed, then looked again and noticed the lack of an LED cutout. I also noticed the word Alps on it, which was odd. Then, when pressing it, I ...

Glad to see that the review might be able to help expand the knowledge about the switch and family some.

And yes, I'm absolutely positive on that one Daniel. I just opened one up again to double check that I remembered correctly. The two contacts are touching when the slider is in its home position ...

There's always a lot of trash talk about Cherry MY switches, but no one really seems to go into why they're so bad, what it is about the design that makes them less pleasant to type on. So for my review, I'm going to have some discussion on Black MY switches. Keep in mind that Black MY switches ...

Alps never seem to get the love they deserve...outside of Akimbo that is. There's just something fun to me about the massive field of options available to you with them There are just so many different types that you can all but guarantee that you will find at least one Alps switch that you will ...

That was my go to beer in undergrad. I think I paid like $6 or less for a 6 pack for a decent beer. I never understood why people bought Keystone or Natty instead of Shiner.

It's hard to pick one favorite since it's contingent upon mood and what I'm eating, but La Fin du Monde is always a good one.

Oh this looks epic!

For your next party trick, you should try it with red cedar and clearcoat it to bring out that red shine (WITH KNOTS)


!

I was actually looking at some cedar, but I'm not sure I could work with it. The smell is rather strong and causes me to start sneezing a ton sometimes ...

Update with finished case pictures.

And updated pics of the case in action. I keep forgetting to buy chalk or else the case would be finished by now. All I have left to do is to line it with black or red suede leather. The brass standoffs have all been epoxied in place, the USB cable cutout has been done, and the case has been ...

Done, but I won't be able to make any additional color changes since I'm starting up the order tally.

It's always nice to see DIY cases! I take it you used a jigsaw to make a donut and glued it to a base? Seems an order of magnitude less difficult than routing a bowl.

By lining it, is it for dampening?

What do you think about construction using joinery (versus routing/carving less pieces)? Is it ...

I do a lot of woodworking for fun whenever I can. My latest project is a GH60/Poker/Pure drop in case with some Korean keyboard inspiration.

Update

The case is now done. Here's the pics:

Now in the invoicing stage.

First off, please double check that your order is correct in this spreadsheet:

Order Confirmation Spreadsheet

If there is a note to contact me about something, please do so. I try my best to double check I have everything correct, but I am not perfect and when organizing something like this ...

The Order Confirmation Form is now up. Please double check your orders and contact me if you see anything that needs correcting.

PMing is best, but I went ahead and added a set to your order.

And it looks like we have hit the 500 cap threshold. I have to double check the numbers, but we should be there. As such, the GB will close 5 days after the samples come in and are posted.

With the sizes of orders this has been getting, we only have 4-5 more orders until we hit the lowest price point. Right now we're at ~370 orders and I haven't counted the caps I'm going to order in that yet.

I remember dismissing, and then pining for, those dinky little 3.5" floppies that weren't ...

Hit up BunnyLake at GH and see if he'd be willing to do that for the GB since he's handling EU distribution.

Well, outside of Bitcoin, which I refuse to do, the only other option is a mailed check. I think you're looking for an out though I won't hold it against you though.

I would have gotten the pacman and space invaders set if it wasn't paypal only and profits wouldn't have gone to some other forum!

You can do Amazon Payments if you would like, just specify in the comments. I actually prefer Amazon Payments, but it's easier if most people just pay the same way ...

Some answers to questions asked on GH.

- The Pac-Man dots are R1 to go with the Pac-Man Function/Number Row sets.

- Pictures of grey caps are incoming from Qwerkeys to give you a better idea of the color.

- Samples are ~2 weeks out.

- The caps will have a base layer under the color layer to ...

This is a non-profit group buy for Qwerkeys UV printed key caps. This is a relatively new process that Qwerkeys has started that allows for dyesub type caps on any color cap. For those worried about resilience, they appear to wear well and seem to be very scratch ...
