Wasn't trying to be hostile, just trying to correct that small thing since I've seen it being repeated.

I did not mean you were hostile, but english is not my mother tongue so it always takes me more time to post things, mainly when using words I only recently learned : to lube = lubrifier, so you lube with lube ? correct ?

In English, the the noun is ‘lubricant’ and the verb is ‘to lubricate’. These get shortened to ‘lube’ and ‘to lube’. The other forms would be ‘lubed’, ‘lubing’, etc.

Ah, ok. I haven't done much French anything in years, so I misread the tone of your comment.  The language issue plus the fact that it's the impersonal internet can make things come off differently.

Yes, you lube with lube.  So you will lube your keyboard, you are lubing your keyboard, you lubed your keyboard.  It's one of those verbs where you don't add a second letter of the ending consonant when you conjugate.

That sounds cool! I'm still using the stock black Alps, but one of my upcoming projects is to swap in New Matias click Alps switches into one. I've always preferred the clicky Alps versions myself.

I'm the same, I've been day-dreaming about doing this, but have yet to make the commitment to start.  The main thing for me is I love my back-lighting, and this makes the project considerably more complicated.  So I'm not sure I would get enough enjoyment out of the board for the investment in time and money.

AT102W owner here. The ISO (102) layout seems very rare. Black complicated tactile ALPS. Currently looking for a complete ISO set of blank ALPS caps.

Luckily I have an old broken AT102W with about 100 ALPS switches. I'd like to keep a few for when i need to perform surgery on mine (happened under the black caps), but if anyone needs one or two, I could perhaps take them off.

I have an AT102w too. What kind paint did you use to paint it?

I did the switch transplant. Removing the old ones is much harder than installing the new ones.

Depending on how efficient you are, I would suggest allowing an hour each for removing switches from the 2 boards and another hour for installing the new ones. If you are good and have good tools you might cut those times in half.

For me, when I have the thing completely apart, I use the opportunity to do a thorough cleaning, and often paint the plate, too.

nice. I switch swapped on two of my keyboards. one alps (dell at102w) and one cherry mx (CM QF XT). I have used a weller desoldering iron and I find it to be very easy to do with that tool.

My tools are the cheapest possible crap, but they do OK.

I filled a Dell AT101W with orange Alps from an old Apple, and whoever had built the Dell had bent over *every single leg* of every switch and I am not kidding.

Afterwards it is a fantastically sweet board, however!

This is also my experience with all 4 of the AT101Ws I have taken apart.  It is quite annoying when you compare the work required to get these bent legged switches out compared to straight legged ones.

I have done a few as well. Usually I find only 5%-10% bent over, randomly around the board.

I don’t find unbending the leads to be *that* bad, once I came up with a strategy for it. Here’s what I do:

(1) Remove the solder as with any unbent lead; I use a soldapullt. Do this for the whole board.
(2) Stick the pointy bent end of a little bent dental pick under a bent-over lead, apply a soldering iron to the lead/pad, and pry upward a bit until the lead unsticks from the pad/hole. At this point the lead is detached from the pad but still bent over. Do this for all bent leads. Usually it doesn’t take much pressure to unstick the lead from the pad and this is very easy; sometimes it’s tricky when the pad wants to lift up off the board. Don’t let it.
(3) Use a pair of small snipe-nosed pliers to unbend each bent lead.
(4) Verify that all leads are properly unstuck from the circuit board, and remove any screws holding the circuit board to the plate, etc., then just pick the circuit board up, as it should be completely loose now.
(5) Carefully remove the switches from the plate. If the plate is tight, then for Alps switches try to push the little plastic "wings" in on one side and then on the other while pulling the switch out of the plate, as otherwise they have a tendency to break.

On average, a switch with bent-over leads takes about twice as much effort to remove as one where the leads are straight. This is annoying, but not impossibly bad.

Mind-blowing.

The 1390131 always was my favorite, I am astonished that this did not get a different model number.

Are those keycaps all the same profile? Even more implausible!

Now we can start dreaming about 2-piece Alps keys with interchangeable caps!

You have me pretty confused about how you made this picture. Could you please take a picture of one keycap from each row from the side and one keycap from each row from the bottom? (i.e. just pull them off and set them next to each other on a table)

The logo gives it away. It's not set into the plastic, but on top of it. Seems to be little more than one of those Model M case look-alikes with the IBM badge glued on top. The keycaps likely came from an IBM PS/2 luggable, since they often used ALPS or ALPS mount switches.

I’m also curious about that. Most of the Alps boards I’ve seen with costar-style stabilizers had a “bigass enter” key.

No, the keycaps are definitely not the same as the ones on a P70/P75 luggable.

I have used and really liked the Matias Quiet Alps.

They are however very heavy in my opinion. Because of this they are probably not for everyone. I still really like them, but eventually decided against using them as my daily driver. Some people on this forum described them as though they feel like browns. In my own opinion, this is very inaccurate.

I agree Matias switches are of a medium-heavy weight. I personally would prefer them if they were maybe 10 grams-force less to actuate. You can change the stiffness by replacing the spring or cutting some loops off.

The top row keycaps are too tall, presumably to compensate for not having a curved PCB and plate. The legends are spot on, though.

Ok, just to change directions a bit from this fake IBM Alps nonsense for a sec and going back to the Matias talk.

I recently bought an Omnikey 102 locally and decided to restore it. All the switches are good except one. So I decide why not try the only company that still makes Alps switches, Matias (seemed alot easier than finding a used parts-only board.)

The results are not even close. I had read someone on this forum that mentioned a hollow sound from the Matias clickies that thought maybe it was because the Matias boards were all PCB mounted. This is not the case, this keyboard the keys are mounted on a thick plate of steel. I'm sure they are great to type on but they are not drop-in replacements for complicated white alps for anyone doing restorations on those type of boards.

The sound and feel is remarkably dependent on the system they're in.

The same Matias switches sounded very different in a Dell AT101W (super-thick steel plate) and a Ducky 1008XM (thin plate and PCB).  Neither sounded quite like the Simplified Whites on a like-new Focus 2001.

I will also suggest wear and dirt and age-- if one switch is fully defunct, others may have a fair bit of mileage on them.

Matias clicky switches feel somewhat similar to complicated Alps switches, but they definitely don’t sound the same. This is because they have only two little pieces of metal for the actual switch contact, instead of a very complicated switchplate assembly. I still like them though.

Chicony KB 7000. Complicated whites. Used and loved it for many years!

Don't ask me how, but I lost the top part of the case when I moved.  :'(

Probably just going to snatch all the switches out of it and grab the doubleshots as I don't use it anymore due to sheer size.
