No, I bought a sample bag of Cherry MX switches from WASD to try out. I was extremely disappointed so I figured I'd try these very well received ALPS compatibles and sent off a PM to CherryMX (account owned by 7bit, right?) about ordering 2 of each Matias switch, so I could try them out before getting or making a keyboard. I just don't have any ALPS keycaps and I do want keycaps on the switches I try out.
Sorry for the confusion, I'm new.

SP replied to my email. They miss tooling for all ALPS keys 2u and above, spacebars included.

Two nights ago I sent an order like this:
ALPSMT 115
MXGREEN 2
MXRED 2
(my email)
But still no response. Is this just lag in the bot, or was I not supposed to mix Alps with MX, or is there some other issue?

Hi 7bit, I ordered some more switches. Could use some clicky ones to complete my blue alps board.
Can you add it to the previous order, shipping costs wise?
Thanks! See you when you're back ^^

If it hasn't shipped yet which I doubt... Just post the new amount to bot. I believe it's prefered way. Though it might be that 7bit hasn't had time for forums from the packing ;D

Ah I see ^^ I already posted the new amount to mister bot. It's weird but the bot mailed me just now and didn't update my order. I guess I'll see when good old 7bit gets back.

I'm not sure what the codes for each switch mean, but are any of these blues?

ALPSMT are tactile
ALPSMC are clicky
They all come in clear plastic housings with a white stem.

The switches arrived today!
I will post some pictures later.
On my scale, 100 Cherry switches are around 156-163g, while these Matias Alps are around 183g. They really feel much better than Cherry (compared to clears and blues). The springs are a little lighter than clears and feel less scratchy.
I will ship out all orders within this week.

2 great news today, 7bit!
now... we just need keycaps...

oeh, you're making me all excited 7bit
for cool keycaps I suggest you start hunting down old/rare laptops and keyboards for now. If I'm not being too obvious on a keyboard forum

all the Round 4 stuff but for the Alps mount.

would be pretty expensive, they miss quite a few molds... I have a list if you are interested.

I think my order didn't get through.
I also ordered MX switches (separately) and I did receive an invoice for those.
I ordered ALPSMTP/ALPSMCP. Should I have ordered without P? What exactly is the difference?
Can I still order? If so do they come directly from 7bit or do I have to wait for a next round or something?

The P was a special preorder price which is no longer valid.

Do you have any idea, when you'll have the next possibility to go to the post office? (Also will you send the switches by DHL or Hermes?)
