WTB: Set of Alps doubleshot keycaps.

[ideus]

I would like to buy a set of Alps doubleshots. Greetings.

Honestly, you're gonna have a hard time.

What board are you trying to fit?  Many boards have odd-shaped keys or stabilizers that makes it hard to swap.

For example, many keys on a Focus 2001 will transfer to a Ducky 1008XM or Solidtek ASK-6600, but the different layouts of the right-shift, enter, backspace, backslash key area make full interchanges impossible.  The Ducky and Solidtek also use a different stabilizer type than a Focus.

I am trying to get some replacements for a K1087. One the potential donors is a Focus 2001. I am aware of the possible keys that will not fit the first. That is the reason I would like to know if someone has a set available.

Your are totally right, it is very hard to get a good set of keys for an Alps keyboard like the K1087.

Thank you so much for your reply. I would like to get something like the one in the picture. Which is not mime by the way.

You and me both

I'd guess that's scavenged from some old keyboard.

Here is another sort of different colors for a similar harvesting from an old keyboard into a new Ducky. Looks great isn't?

I own several expensive keyboards and have come to LOVE the cheap 50 dollar Ducky green alps board I purchased about a month back I think.

Does anybody have experience with the alps to cherry key cap converters? I saw them over on DT briefly and wondered if there would be any down-sides... I do have access to a 3d printer and could possibly make them... Although the process would be tedious

I'm also having difficulty finding Alps keycaps for my Ducky with Black Alps. Are there any good resources for Alps replacement caps? I wasn't aware of the stabilizer inconsistency problems and such.
