  • Hello and welcome.
Finally, finally, FINALLY! Here is part 1 of my Alps Trilogy. In this trilogy I discuss Alps switches in keyboard reviews; how they started off, how they were designed, and how they evolved over time. Today, we look at the forerunners of the SKCL/SKCM series; Alps SKCC. Hope you enjoy it, and check back next week for part 2, where we look at how Alps moved up from here! :D

Wow, how am I the first to comment on this? I saw your Part 3 and decided to backtrack and watch this first. Great video. I love your attention to detail. Now I'm interested in picking up one of these boards, especially at that price.

By the way, I literally LOL'd at the butter part.

P.S. - Do they not have Rubbermaid across the pond? They are a huge Fortune 500 company, to this day. They make all kinds of plastic goods, from garbage cans to storage bins to lawn furniture.

Glad you liked it :) . I hadn't seen Rubbermaid before, no, so it's probably not quite as widespread here.
