Is there a Chinese DSA-clone maker prepared to make keycap sets with Alps stems?
My only experience with dsa alps was the lightcycle set that came with my minivan - and it was delicate as can be. I ripped a couple stems off just trying to remove a cap from the switch and from what I could tell, the doubleshot did not adhere like it should to both colors. Wouldn't be a problem with blanks though if i'm correct in diagnosing the problem but i'd definitely be weary of buying more sets especially if they were SP priced.My V80 has some kinda costar type stabs but with out normal mounts. It definitely is a standards problem getting a mod set that works for everyone.

I hadn't heard about issues with the double shot process. I was planning to shave the stems on the corners to keep the fit from being so tight.
I've pulled Tai Hao double-shots off a Matias Quiet Click board numerous times and never had a problem with the keycaps coming apart, or damaging the switches. However, you do have to be careful. I recommend pulling with increasing tension (and only straight up--never with any side-to-side torque), rather than yanking with high force.
I've come to view humanity as predominantly monkey business.
The Alps market is just so small though. There isn't much incentive for keycap manufacturers to prioritize the Alps mount.In any event, the reason you don't see many Alps DSA sets is because designers don't bother to offer them. SP will certainly make them; it is up to keyset designers to add them to their group buy.
Just wanted to make sure everyone sees that information. A lot of people missed it
Does PMK still sell the Alps Granite set?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
