Please send more orders for the tactile variant!

The sooner people order more, the sooner I can get mine!

ALPs FTW.

(also, what do you want? A switch named after a silly little fruit, or a switch named after a MOUNTAIN)

Darn,

I thought I was done with keyboard stuff and then you come up with this...
I almost could not resist.

What's the payment method in paypal ? it says in the mail to not use gift mode, so which one?
Living expense, Payment owed or other?

Don't know. If in doubt, use "other".

@all: Please send more orders!!!!

I'd love to order some, but I don't have a board to put them on!

First order the switches, then order the PCB, plate and controller, and after that I might run either an Alps key caps group buy or MrInterface comes up with his converters.

and in 2016 you'll finally have your completed keyboard

Yes. How do you know that?

the keycaps elves told me

But which PCB will fit them? Hypermini? I'd like a TKL more...

I try to make them compatible with both. If not, I will offer both variants.

Mount plates are surely different, but should also not be too much of a problem.

We had quite a lot of variants in the Phantom group buy, so I don't expect any trouble with low qty orders.

Paid order MX 0136 korne

Thanks!

Paid order 0205 as well.

However I didn't think about the ö in my name, and it turned into a =C3=B6 . . . is there a possibility to fix this ?

Just send your address again

\"o

I know, I should add some code to do this automatically ...

here comes the latest statistic:

When will you receive them

A few people were asking about compatibility with ALPS. I got a bag from Mr Interface a couple of weeks back and as far as I can see: Bottom two rows show genuine ALPS CM (black, orange, cream, whites and grey) mixed with the two clear Matias switches and match in terms of pins & switch size.

From the top:
Acer white and black wouldn't fit plate (too small) and mine don't have any pins.

KBT blue and Omicron orange look like they'd fit a plate but are three pins more spread out so wouldn't fit PCB.

Unidentified white clone and Montery blue would fit PCB but too small for plate compatibility.

Hope that helps,

Thanks for the comparison!


This is still open!

SMK (Alps-mount) tactile and clicky respectively. (Also "KPT" and "Omron" — too bad the kit doesn't come with a description of what everything is.)

Switches are paid and will be delivered really soon ...

Really soon is? ;D

2-3 weeks. I'm not sure how long shipping will take.

does "will be delivered in 2-3 weeks" mean that they'll be sent to your place then?

Yes!

I sent a message to CherryMX with a question and that may well have been wrong, but I'd like to try these switches and I don't currently have any keycaps. Do you sell ALPS keycaps too? I'd also like to avoid paying double shipping.

You have ALPS board but no keycaps? They aren't combatible with MX boards... So you need either some custom PCB or old ALPS board... Keycaps aren't made yet I believe.
