Cheapest one I could find but,
pm didjamtic. I know he has some donor boards. You two may be able to come to an arrangement.

Do you think blue alps are pleasant to type one*? Better than any other alps switch*? How would you compare the feeling of blue alps with the feeling of other switches like blue cherry or buckling spring*?

Yes, I can say that blue alps are my favorite Alps type switch. I have typed on simplified whites and blacks in the past.
They feel lighter and the tactile bump is less pronounced. Anyone who has typed on simplified white Alps in the past knows how "crunchy" they are.
The Alp's tactile bump activates higher than other types of switches. So when you going fast you don't notice it as much. It's hard to describe any further even though I'm typing this post on blue Alps.
