The Infinity doesn’t support any of the stabilized keycaps from an AEK II. I meant he should use AEK II caps for the rest.

Poor guy, or maybe he can install MX switches and enjoy the freedom.

Actually, I bet I have some Apple AEK II caps you can just have for free, Badwrench.

I appreciate the offer, but it's cool.  I have the Chicony already and it is so awful to type on it is going to be parts anyways.  The white alps from it might go on the infinity depending on how I like the quiet clicks. 
wut. i'd buy a ****ty IBM board for that green V2

I like this set, and would love to own an Alps keyset, but I just don't have a board to put it on. Alps boards aren't so prevalent anymore, and the ones that are around, aren't really to my aesthetic taste.

Wish someone would rerun the Kingsaver GB.

How about something better than the Kingsaver? It's still a ways out, though.

I just don't understand the point of this at all. If they were PBT caps then they would be very intruiging, but they're just ABS doubleshots. For the monstrous price they're going for right now they're not even remotely worth considering. Alps doubleshot ABS keycaps are extremely easy and cheap to find. There is nothing interesting about this group buy at all.

I don't know too much about the Alps world at all.

Where are these cheap ABS doubleshots? Are you taking them off old Alps boards?

Better than the Kingsaver? Would love to see.

You have something up your sleeve JD?

The idea was to have an appealing colorway for ALPS as well.

Of course. Look for a Focus 2001 board or something similar. They have some decent doubleshots, and because they (for some reason) all had a built in keyboard protector, you often see them in pretty good condition. Mine is practically pristine.

http://www.keyboardco.com/product/matias-keyset-us-white-pc-full.asp I think these are ABS. But yeah I wouldn't characterize the ALPS life as easy.
