Anyway, if there's anyone like me who's planning to use ALPS on 1800 keyboard, there's a vintage keyboard with blue ALPS switches for sale on
eBay right now for only ~200 bucks. Those switches are completely new and used, which is incredible, this keyboard is a real jewel and believe me, you find find something like this again anytime soon in your lifetime.
The only reason I'm saying this here and not buying it myself is because I don't have enough money ATM. So incredibly frustrating, I feel like stabbing myself to death.
