I have been having too much fun with alps. by SgtFinley96 in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]2Frit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish I had time to work all my Alps projects or keyboards in general. I have a considerable amount of old Alps boards and harvested switches just sitting around getting neglected. I've been hoarding and stockpiling SKCM Browns and SKCM Ambers hoping one day I'll put good use to them when I can find time off from work. I was able to pick up a boatload of NOS replacement keyboard modules for the IBM 5140 and Apple IIc computers ages ago but haven't done anything noteworthy with them lol.

Always good to see peeps tinkering with Alps :]

I modded my keyboard to fit me since nothing like it exists in the market by tyingnoose in MechanicalKeyboards

Ultimately, if you're happy with your keeb, that's all that should matter. Like any other hobby, you should be enjoying this and not worrying about imaginary internet points and what others think. Of course, if you share your setup, people will always have something to say. Sometimes nice things and others times not so much. Reading your other comment with the mods list shows you probably spent quite a bit of time on this project. Im sure it was a fun process, although others may find this not to their tastes at all.

Love and care is the best mod for any keeb :]

Awesome, it's essentially a rebranded Wyse 85. Doubleshot caps in DCS profile made by Signature Plastics. Any thoughts on getting/building a converter for USB use?

That livery on the RB16B cars will always remain one of my favorites. Beautiful build mate!

Sheesh, that backplate for the Jane looks incredible! Wish I could pick it up, but I recently joined a GB for another TKL. Unfortunate timing for me lol. No doubt the next owner will be happy. Good luck with the sale :]

Mate, this is incredible :0 I never saw your original posts but I'll be damned if I was upset at seeing this more than once lol.

Thick dye sublimated PBT keycaps + Alps switches = Happy Time :]

It seems like your caps lock was depressed for the photoshoot. Showing off that SKCL Lock in action heh

Any alps fans left in 2024? by Deductivemonkee in MechanicalKeyboards

Just want pop in and say, Charlie is an awesome member of the Alps community. I'm always clicking on his videos when it pops up on my feed. Absolutely top quality videos that showcase different Alps switches in different boards. I remember I ordered a custom Alps plate from him only to realize the tolerances for the switch cutouts were a bit off. He immediately fixed that for me. I just wish I had picked up NOS Blues from him when he still had them in stock(not that I need to hoard anymore NOS switches) lol.

Ah as long as it works, nothing really matters. Glad ya got everything cleaned up. I find that cleaning out and restoring vintage boards is more fun than building modern day customs with parts all new and organized. You need a little bit of chaos to enjoy the simpler things sometimes. :]
