woohoo! switches arrived this morning, just before I left for school. Now have one each with me, and they are very interesting. The tactile switches are nice with the dampening, as they aren't damped only on the way down. But they have two tactile bumps, one when the tactile leaf is passed, one when the contact leaf is passed by the slider. If it only had one bump it would be better.

I'll know more when I'm home and find the time to solder them into a board.

7bit, could you please check whether you've shipped my alps order #MX0183?
Payment's been marked as received ages ago - this invoice number had been reused by the system from a previous MX switch order, maybe that caused it to be overlooked?
thanks!

I think I shipped them last Saturday. At least they are marked as shipped.

Thanks for checking. Wonder if that Post-Streik last week has anything to do with it.

Hey RC, I checked your observation ind it appears to me that this is not true for all the sitches. Some do bottom out before passing the second bump, which make them feel more linear.
BTW, mine arrived more than a week ago

I have mine. Thanks, it was fast.

Got them, thanks!

Interesting to see that it is faster to ship to Portugal than to Nederland.

Posted: **25 Apr 2013, 22:56**

talking of which, have to report: still nothing received;

Posted: **27 Apr 2013, 12:00**

I start to believe that it's totally random.

Just wondering if all the switches have been shipped since neighboring countries already received them some time ago apparently, but so far nothing here ^^

Posted: **03 May 2013, 12:21**

German shipping is weird...

My tipro has been stuck for almost two week leaving country, though that was packet...

There was some key caps sorting thing going on.

Now, I've packed all the switches and will ship them today.

Posted: **04 May 2013, 10:03**

Hah ok. No stress though

thanks for all the groupbuys! looking forward to switches and caps ^^

Just received my Matias's's.
They're making an intriguing first impression.

Thanks 7bit.

edit: fyi, the clicky ones are not dampened

Posted: **10 May 2013, 12:46**

Received my order in a bag full of surprises

Thanks 7bit!

The clicky ones are nice, the silent switches... meh...

now to source the keycaps (and stabs)

Posted: **12 May 2013, 00:09**

Mine arrived on Friday — confused the hell out of me, wondered what on earth some random bloke in Germany had sent me, and why.

The silent ones are pretty decent to type on. They're a bit iffy, but they're a passable poor man's Topre :)

Posted: **15 May 2013, 06:59**

Got mine yesterday! Thanks 7bit!

Posted: **15 May 2013, 10:16**

Got mine as well

now to find some time to desolder and solder everything :p thanks!

Posted: **15 May 2013, 10:53**

Five minutes ago I ordered a few of each to try them.

Sooo..... WHERE ARE MY SWITCHES, DID YOU SEND THEM YET.

I guess you're still busy with round 4? It's been two weeks since I payed

Posted: **28 May 2013, 12:05**

Sorry, but shipping of switches which re-start next week. I can't pack switches while the table is still full of boxes with key caps for the DUMMY kits.

Also, I see you only ordered 5 each!

Posted: **28 May 2013, 12:58**

Don't worry, I'll order a full set once I decided which one I like better. I only have one ALPS keyboard right now

Posted: **28 May 2013, 13:32**

Will ALPS be sent together with Cherry MX if I preordered them?

Posted: **28 May 2013, 20:00**

Yes, but I can also ship them ahead along with the Round 4 order and the DUMMY kit!

Posted: **29 May 2013, 14:26**

Great!;)

Are the available numbers in the OP updated? Also how long does it take to get a reply on the PM?

Posted: **11 Jun 2013, 23:33**

All are available. Just order.

I've updated the first post.

The preorder is not available anymore as they are in stock.
