i don't know what white alps these are to be honest, i just saw binaris was selling some white alps and i thought they have to be better than these crappy abs blacks. They feel a lot better tho and i got back to soldering and creating volcanos (if you solder you know what i mean), in preperation for future modding. Too bad i didn't have all white alps, i was missing out 2, so esc and scroll lock are designated to the crappy black alps. It's definite an improvement over the abs m1 (you can still tell it's the abs cuz of the damn bright blue LED), maybe my fiance will like to use it, otherwise i guess i'll just keep it around as a backup keyboard.

I just desoldered all the xm alps out of my vivanco. It's going to get complicated dampened cream alps. It is stupid how easy that was. First time I've desoldered anything, I used a braid to do it.
