[WTB] 4 Blue Alps switches
« on: Wed, 10 June 2015, 09:29:48 »
As the title says, I'm looking for Blue Alps. I would prefer standalone switches (cheaper shipping costs), but a donor board is acceptable. I would prefer to get at least 87, more if possible in case of mishaps or wear and tear.

UPDATE: Bought 83 switches, would like to get four more.
UPDATE 2: Bought the remaining four. Thanks, exitfire401.

Whites are quite acceptable substitutions for lesser-used keys.
"Cohen has been described as a “fixer,” a guy who gets things done, who cleans up messes and who calms the waters in a crisis. But mostly, it seems that Cohen was a lackey.
He wasn’t someone telling Trump hard truths to make sure that he was protected. Cohen was the guy who simply wanted to make sure that Trump was placated. He wanted the boss to be happy. Cohen wasn’t using his clout or connections to turn the tide in Trump’s favor.
He was just another person whose ambitions and self-worth had become intertwined with Trump, someone who as federal investigators closed in on him, as he lied and then lied some more, he had to be reminded by his wife, his daughter and his son that Trump was neither his salvation, nor was he someone worth saving." 2024-05-14 comment

Yeah, my current plan is to use Matias Clicky switches in PrtScr, Pause, F11 and F12, but the board would look better naked if I had the last few blues as well. I know it's not really necessary.

Thanks, exitfire. I hope you have some.
