On a separate note, I'm also wanting to try alps, I have some alps switches coming in from NovelKeys .
I'm thinking getting two PCBs and Plates - Alum ALPS/Blue-tooth PCB pair as well as a Brass Plate/Wired PCB pair for MX.
Question :
-- Is the default alum plate mandatory, can I switch that with an alum alps plate ? (can I pay the difference in price for the alps plate)
-- what stabs and caps will work ? I see stabs on the Mathias site, and caps on mechanicalkeyboards.com, would those work ?
