Hi all,
So, for $30 I scored this (sorry for the photo quality):

I got it to try out an ALP board. Very impressive. I think I prefer these white ALPS over Cherry MX Blues for a tactile and clicky non-buckling spring switch.
Other than give it a good clean and retr0bright the casing, a couple of issues:
-One of the switches sometimes doesn't 'click'. I've looking at the wiki articles on here about ALPS and I've been able to remove the switch and have a look at the inner workings and there's nothing obviously wrong with it- the spring looks fine, nothing appears damaged and there's no gunk/dirt in there. Any tips on how to fix this? Or would it be easier just to replace the switch? (ALPS seem easy to remove/replace, but where would I buy replacements?).
-When I fix up an older board, I like to add a small amount of colour in the form of RGB modifier keys, or at the very least a non-standard Esc key (red, or some other non-standard design/colour). Where would I find this sort of thing?
