NTC KB-6152EA review (Alps SKCM White)

[chyros]

There you go folks, a review of this Alps tank. Professor Plum with the NTC KB-6151 in the library, anyone?

Also, next week I'll be going on holiday for a while, so I won't be able to make any reviews for about a month. When I get back, I'll show you something clicky and fun .

I've heard that the white Alps are quite heavy and less refined than the blue Alps.

I have a Chicony KB-5181 with Monterey blues that feels decent, but the case feels incredible tinney and hollow. Going to make it a wooden case I think.

Anyways, nice review as always, and happy holidays!

Cheers mate, will do!

Yeah, white Alps are a little stiffer and not as smooth as blue Alps. Still great switches, but when you try them side-by-side, there's no mistaking which is the superior switch.

Monterey blues are pretty light for a clicky switch, and very nice to type on, it's what I'd recommend light typists to use (rather than MX blues). Many of the boards they appear in are fairly flimsy though, from what I can tell. If you make a wooden case, be sure to show us some pictures!

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!   I'd like doing voice work sometime, actually .

I liked Blue ALPS beyond any other switch I have tried. White ALPS just feel less uniform through the entire stroke to me. Monterey Blue are pretty high up there but every keyboard with them feels terrible. ( I could live with the minitouch).
