Do they exist? I know Rippy had a prototype clack what was alps, have there been any skulls or blanks released with Alps stem?

Kirkle wants my crack

If there are, there are probably only a handful that have been stashed away by collectors.

Damn I would sooooo love to have a skull on my ALPS board O,O DO WANT!

There's a possibility that Clack's facilities can't cope with making caps that survive Alps stem insertion/removal. I have never fondled a CC tho, so I don't know what sort of plastic it is.

They do exist, Ripster has one and CC told me via PM a while back that he was going to release them. It seems that it has become Soon^tm

I wasn't arguing against their existence (altho I didn't really say as much). I was just pointing out that while prototypes may exist there was the possibility that Clickclack wouldn't move forward with them if they were too frail. He's a bit of a perfectionist and knows people will insert/remove his caps quite a bit. Possibly more than they actually get pressed as a functional item.

SmallFry · « **Reply #7 on:** Thu, 23 May 2013, 09:34:52 »

True. I'm not sure if his current casting material would take the stress on such a small stem.

Hi kmiller8,

Yes indeed there have been. The reason you don't see much of them around is that the interest was really low for them when compared to MX, T, and M.

Initially I thought that interest for ALPS compatible work would exceed model M and Topre interest. But that was not the case. It's not forgotten however, it's just further behind since I have to prioritize. You get the gist I'm sure. Regarding stress on the plastic, nothing noteworthy. Reliable and sturdy much like my other work. =)
Thanks for this thread, maybe interest will perk up a bit.

It was just a matter of substantially less interest unfortunately.
Hope that clears up some info. Speaking of which, I really, really, really need to update my FAQ section. lulz

-cc out!

I'm sure Matias is with you on hoping interest picks up

metalliqaz · « **Reply #10 on:** Thu, 23 May 2013, 10:59:57 »

Considering all the Alps customs on the way, I assume interest will perk up quite a bit.

SmallFry · « **Reply #11 on:** Thu, 23 May 2013, 11:04:59 »

I've wanted one for a while. Been meaning to get a Zero, so here's to hoping!

More custom alps keyboards will be coming this year so I could use a cc alps key

CPTBadAss · « **Reply #13 on:** Thu, 23 May 2013, 11:16:46 »

I've love an Alps Clack as well ^__^

DamnDan · « **Reply #14 on:** Thu, 23 May 2013, 11:40:20 »

If they will be created anytime in the future i will hunt one, place on my AT101W and never remove! That is great news for ALPS users ^^

absyrd · « **Reply #15 on:** Thu, 23 May 2013, 12:17:06 »

I'd buy one.

phetto · « **Reply #16 on:** Thu, 23 May 2013, 12:18:14 »

I want to say people without alps boards. But who am I kidding. People would buy rubber dome caps if they were clacks.

Thanks for clearing that up. I look forward to the next 4grabs having ALPS compatible skulls

Also you should check your PM's, there's a spooky ghost waiting in there.
